YOUR METHOD:

Let us point out that this is a CD-R 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

a PlexWriter 8/20, 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, instructions for this section should

only be considered as guidelines. For more detailed instructions on how to

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

manual that you received when you purchased the board.

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

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

grounded object before you remove the host adapter from its

packaging.

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

without a 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 are OFF and your computer is

UNPLUGGED from its power source.
