SuperTrak SX6000™ User Manual Chapter 2
- 5 -
Getting Started
This chapter is designed to help you prepare SuperTrak SX6000 for installation into
Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 system servers. Please read through this chapter
carefully before attempting to install SuperTrak SX6000. Users should record their
current CMOS (system setup) settings before making any changes. This preventative
measure is aimed at protecting such information from loss, which may happen
unpredictably and/or periodically during any hardware installation.
Unpacking SuperTrak SX6000
The SuperTrak SX6000 package should contain the following items:
• SuperTrak SX6000 controller card
• SuperTrak SX6000 User Manual
• SuperTrak SX6000 OS drivers & utility diskettes (3)
• Internal 18” Ultra ATA/100 80-wire/40-pin hard drive cables (6)
• Y-power cable (3)
If any of the items are missing or appear damaged, please contact your dealer or
distributor immediately.
NOTE: The SuperTrak SX6000 controller card ships with a removable protective label
that covers the audible alarm buzzer device (see Figure 1). This label must be removed
prior to installing the card.
SuperTrak SX6000 Controller Card
Seen in Figure 1, the SuperTrak SX6000 controller card has several physical features
of interest for purposes of installation: A DIMM socket for memory (minimum 16MB
required), 6 IDE channel connections (1 “master” drive per channel), an alarm buzzer, a
battery, and 4 LEDs on the card’s backplane.
NOTE: The SuperTrak SX6000 controller card, like every other valuable part of your
PC, is sensitive to static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded (Promise
recommends that you wear an anti-static strap, or place a free hand on a grounded
object), and that your PC is unplugged before installing any of the SuperTrak SX6000
components.
