Installation And Configuration; Installing The Adapter Itself - Black Box IC515C User Manual

4. Installation and Configuration

This chapter describes how to install and configure your Ultra2 LVD SCSI Host
Adapter. (If you are installing multiple Adapters in a clustered system, refer to
Section 4.5.) If you have any difficulty, please refer to Section 6.1.

4.1 Installing the Adapter Itself

Follow these instructions to install your Ultra2 LVD SCSI Host Adapter:
If you're running Windows NT on the computer you'll be installing the
Adapter in, you might want to install the driver before you install
hardware. If so, follow the procedure listed in Section 5.4.
1. Turn OFF your computer, unplug it, and disconnect it from all other devices.
2. Take precautions to keep from damaging the Adapter with any accidental
static discharge. At the very least, discharge yourself on a metal part of the PC
chassis or on some other metallic surface before touching the Adapter. If
possible, stand on an anti-static mat and wear a grounding strap or anti-static
gloves.
3. (Optional) If you need to hardwire termination on the Adapter so that it's
always enabled (ON), install the necessary jumper(s) on the Adapter if you
haven't done so already. See Section 3.4.
4. Remove the cover from the computer case.
5. Locate an unused 32-bit PCI expansion slot (the slot must support
busmastered data transfers). PCI slots are shorter than ISA or EISA slots and
are typically white. Usually there are several of them on the motherboard.
(One of these might be a shared slot into which you can insert either an
ISA/EISA board or a PCI board.) Refer to your PC's documentation if you're
still not sure which ones are the PCI slots.
Once you've located a PCI slot, unscrew and remove the metal bracket
that covers the card-slot opening. (Save the screw; you will be using it to
secure the host adapter in your computer.)
