Installing the Host Adapter

WARNING:
Turn
OFF
power to your computer and peripheral
devices before you begin installation.
1
Remove the computer chassis cover to expose the
expansion slots and external access covers.
2
Locate an unused, unobstructed PCI bus expan-
sion slot that supports bus mastering. (PCI bus
slots are usually white or ivory.) See your com-
puter documentation to determine if the PCI slot
supports bus mastering.
Many PCI computers have one pair of ISA and
PCI slots very close to each other. This saves
space and allows you to install either an ISA card
or a PCI card in the slot pair.
3 Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover
from the computer chassis.
4
Align the bus connector on the bottom of the host
adapter with the PCI bus slot. If the computer has
a card guide for aligning cards, be sure the end of
the host adapter is inserted in the card guide.
5 Carefully press the host adapter into the slot.
6
Secure the host adapter bracket to the computer
chassis with the screw from the removed expan-
sion slot cover.
Connecting the SCSI Bus LED
Most computers have an LED on the front panel that
lights when the hard disk is active. Follow these
steps if you want the LED to indicate activity on the
SCSI bus instead of non-SCSI disk activity.
Note: If you change the LED function the
LED will no longer light when your non-
SCSI disk drive is active.
