Step 4. Locate the slot for installing a PCI plug-in board. The
LSI8751SP requires a PCI slot which allows bus master
operation.
Step 5. Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer
aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the bracket
screw.
Step 6. Carefully insert edge connector J1 (see
adapter into the PCI slot. Make sure the edge connector is
properly aligned before pressing the board into place.
Note:
You may notice that the components on a PCI host adapter
face the opposite way from non-PCI adapter boards you
have in your system. This is correct, and the board is keyed
to go in only one way.
Step 7. The bracket around the connector J3 (see
where the blank bracket panel was removed. Secure the
bracket with the bracket screw before making the internal and
external SCSI bus connections.
Step 8. If you are connecting any internal SCSI devices, plug a 68-pin
connector on the end of the internal SCSI ribbon cable into
connector J2 for 16-bit SCSI, or a 50-pin connector into
connector J4 for 8-bit SCSI (see
match pin 1 on all internal connectors.
Note:
It is possible to use both internal connectors if no external
devices are attached to your host adapter. You may use
only two of the three connectors at once.
Step 9. Connect the LED cable if desired. This is designed to drive the
front panel LED found on most PC cabinets to indicate activity
on the SCSI bus.
Step 10. Replace the cabinet cover as described in the user's manual for
your computer.
Step 11. Make all external SCSI bus connections. Finally, refer to the
PCI Storage Device Management System SDMS 4.0 User's
Guide (or the guide for the software you use) to load the driver
software for your particular operating system.
Remember: The SCSI bus requires proper termination, and no duplicate
SCSI IDs.
