2. Installing Your PlexWriter SCSI Drive
This chapter explains how to
physically install your PlexWriter
SCSI drive.
This chapter illustrates how to install
the SCSI drive in your computer
(internal drive), or how to attach the
PlexWriter (external drive) to the
SCSI interface. The steps you'll need
to do are as follows:
1. Turn OFF your computer system.
2. Set the SCSI ID for your new
PlexWriter drive.
3. Set the PlexWriter's termination.
(By default, termination is
enabled.)
4. If you have a new PCI SCSI
interface board, insert it into an
available PCI slot in your
computer.
5. If you have an internal model
Plextor drive, mount the drive into
an available drive bay inside the
computer system.
6. Make all necessary cabling
connections: SCSI cable, power
cable, and audio cable.
7. Turn your computer system ON.
The following pages give more
details for this procedure.
Quickstart SCSI
Installation—For
Experienced PC Users Only
If you've installed computer peripherals
before, you're in luck with the
PlexWriter drive. Use this "quickstart"
installation designed to get you up and
running quickly.
Scenario 1: You purchased a Plextor
PlexWriter drive, the PlexWriter is your
only SCSI peripheral, and you have
Windows operating system.
What to do: Purchase and install a
Plug-and-Play SCSI board (with SCAM
support). After it is properly installed
and configured, plug in the PlexWriter,
and go. Windows 9x, ME and 2000 will
automatically recognize the board and
prompt you for the SCSI board drivers.
(In Windows NT you will need to
install the drivers manually through
Control Panel/SCSI Adapters.) After the
SCSI board drivers are installed and the
board is functioning correctly, set the
PlexWriter drive to a unique SCSI ID
and plug it in. The drivers for your CD-
RW drive will automatically be
installed by the operating system.
NOTE: Most newer SCSI controllers
are Plug-and-Play-compliant.
