Introduction
In order
to
install an Adaptec ACB-237X into an IBM PC AT-compatible
computer, the following configuration is required:
1.
ACB-2372: IBM PC AT-compatible computer without floppy disk
controller.
ACB-2370: IBM PC AT-compatible computer with floppy disk controller.
Note: Compatible computers are defined to have 110 bus speeds of 6 MHz with one 110
wait stale, 8 MHz with one 110 wait stale or JO MHz with two 110 wait states. 110 bus
speed is not the same as CPU or memory speeds. For example, a 16 MHz 286 or 386
machine typically runs the 110 bus
aJ
8 MHz with one 110 wait state.
2.
PC or MS-DOS Version 3.0 or higher. System and supplemental program
diskettes.
The ACB-237X will also run with non-DOS operating systems and
networks. Please refer to the appendix for operation with Interactive
System Unix V/386, SCO Xenix V.2.x, Novell NetWare 2.x, OS/2 and
other operating systems.
3.
A "set-up" diskette that allows the PC AT-compatible computer's
configuration RAM to be set up (such as the diagnostics diskette IBM
supplies with its PC ATs.)
4.
Adaptec ACB-2372 hard disk and floppy disk controller or ACB-2370 hard
disk controller.
5.
A 2,7 RLL qualified Winchester disk drive (Ask your drive manufacturer if
your drive is qualified for 2,7 RLL data encoding).
6.
5 1/4" or 3 1/2" floppy disk drive.
7.
20- and 34-pin flat or twisted ribbon cables for hard disk.
8.
34-pin twisted ribbon cable for floppy disk.
