CHAPTER 8 ---- Hardware Installation
Board Installation
YOUR TASK:
Install a SCSI interface board in your computer.
YOUR OBJECTIVE:
Provide the hardware link needed to enable your
CD-R drive to communicate with your computer.
YOUR METHOD:
Remove your computer's case. Install board and
attach necessary cables.
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 4/12, 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 as 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.
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
visible. Positioning your computer in a location without a carpet under-
foot 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.
