YOUR METHOD:

Let us point out that this is a CD-ROM drive installation and operation manual

— it is not a SCSI interface board operation manual. Unless you purchased a

SCSI interface board (and its accompanying manual) bundled in the same box

with an UltraPleX drive, we have no way of knowing which type of board you

elect to use. There are dozens of SCSI interface boards on the market. Each

one is installed somewhat differently. Therefore, our instructions for this

section should only be considered guidelines. For more detailed instructions

on how to properly install your SCSI interface board, you should refer to the

installation/operation manual that you received when you purchased the

board or contact the manufacturer directly.

CAUTION: If static electricity may be present in the room where you are work-

ing, discharge any you may have on your body by touching a

grounded object before you remove the host adapter from its pack-

aging.

Static electricity is a silent killer. Just a small jolt to one of the

chips on your interface board may render it useless with no

apparent damage. Positioning your computer in a location with-

out carpet underfoot is one method of guarding against static

electricity damage. Using common sense, such as not walking on

a carpeted floor in stocking feet just before you install your drive,

is another.

Before proceeding, make sure the power to your computer and

any external peripherals is OFF and your computer is unplugged

from its power source.
