AHA-1540C/1542C User's Manual
Easy Installation
Your AHA-1540C/1542C host adapter comes equipped with an on-
board BIOS that allows you to use up to seven SCSI disk drives
per host adapter (eight total) without additional software under
MS-DOS version 5.0 and above. In addition, Novell NetWare®,
IBM® OS/2 and versions of UNIX from SCO®, Sunsoft® and USL ®
include built-in support for the AHA-1540C/1542C.
Adaptec I/O Operating Environment Software is easy to install.
Adaptec EZ-SCSI for DOS/Windows automatically configures
itself to the peripherals installed on your system. If you want, you
can override the defaults and customize your configuration.
Refer to Chapter Five, I/O Operating Environment Software, for
your specific software requirements.
Your host adapter is already configured for the majority of ISA
(A'f® compatible) or EISA class computers. If you need to change
the host adapter settings, you can do so with the built-in Configu-
ration Software and the switches on the adapter board, as
explained later in this manual.
You do not need an EISA .efg file to install the AHA-
1540C/1542C on EISA computers.
Installation directions begin in Chapter Two, Getting
Started.

the board .
