Installing The Host Adapter - Adaptec AHA-2740W User Manual

AHA-2740W/2742W/2744W User's Guide
SCSI ID 1 is best reserved for a second hard disk drive.
If you are installing more than one SCSI host adapter, each adapter
implements a different SCSI bus, so SCSI IDs can be reused.
Changing the SCSI ID setting for the host adapter is software selectable
only, and is done through your computer's EISA configuration utility.
Refer to Chapter 3, Configuring the Host Adapter for instructions.
The SCSI ID on most SCSI devices is typically set with jumpers or
with switches on the SCSI device. Refer to the SCSI device documen-
tation for information on changing the SCSI ID on other SCSI devices.

Installing the Host Adapter

To install the host adapter in your EISA system, the chassis cover
must be removed and the motherboard exposed. Always refer to
your EISA system documentation for instructions on removing the
chassis cover and adding option boards, such as the AHA-2740W/
2742W/2744W.
WARNING:
Turn OFF and disconnect power to the system
and external equipment before removing the chassis cover
or attempting any motherboard modifications.
To install the AHA-2740W/2742W/2744W in your EISA computer
system, follow these steps:
1
Remove the cover of your EISA computer system to expose the
EISA bus slots on the motherboard.
2
Locate an unused EISA slot in your system which supports bus
master operations (refer to the host computer system documen-
tation for details) and remove the corresponding slot cover.
3
Carefully remove the host adapter from the antistatic bag. Place
the host adapter on top of the bag if you need to set it down.
4
Align and insert the host adapter in the EISA slot.
5
Secure the host adapter in your system.
