are no further settings required to operate the ICP Controller in a 32 Bit or 64 Bit PCI bus-
master slot.
ICP Controllers GDT4xy3RZ require a 3.3Volt PCI Slot.
Step 4
Push the ICP Controller firmly into the correct PCI bus-master slot. Make sure that the con-
troller fits tightly into it, and that the external connectors stick out of the computer case.
Now, fix the ICP Controller by tightening the screw of its bracket.
Step 5
To connect the external SCSI enclosures use suitable round cables (see ICP vortex SCSI Ac-
cessories – section B.4.4). Make sure that cables are fastened with the corresponding con-
nectors.
To connect internal SCSI devices, use the internal SCSI connectors of the ICP Controller.
You need 68-pin SCSI flat ribbon cables with appropriate connectors. Please verify that the
colored core of the SCSI flat ribbon cable connects PIN1 of the ICP SCSI connector to PIN1
of the SCSI device (see ICP vortex SCSI Accessories – section B.4.4).
Step 6
If required, you can connect the HDD-front-LEDs of the PCI computer system to the LED
connectors of the ICP Controller.
Step 7
Before the PCI computer system is switched on, check the following points over again:
Is the PC133 SO-DIMM/DIMM installed properly into the socket ?
Is the ICP Controller plugged firmly into one of the PCI bus-master slots ?
Is the SCSI enclosure properly connected with the ICP Controller.
Are the SCSI-IDs set correctly ?
Are the SCSI-bus terminators plugged/set correctly ?
Are the SCSI flat ribbon cables connected correctly ?
Step 8
After having checked all the points in "Step 7", reconnect the PCI computer system to the
power supply. Do not close the computer case yet.
B.6 ICP Controller Function Check
Before we put the ICP Controller into operation for the first time, we would like to spend a
few words on the PCI 2.x compatibility requirements a PCI computer system (especially the
motherboard and the motherboard's BIOS) should meet.
Now, after having installed the ICP Controller and the devices, check whether the controller
is working correctly. If the ICP Controller is the only controller in the computer system, set
hard disks C: and D: to not available in the System-BIOS setup program of the computer.
Make sure that the boot priority starts with A, then C, etc..
Normally, you can start the BIOS setup program by pressing a certain key-combination after
switching on the computer. After switching on the PCI computer system, pay attention to
the LEDs of the ICP Controller.
If everything is installed correctly, the green LED "S" will light up when switching
on the PCI computer system. The green LED "S" (S for status) shows that the ICP Controller
is online. If this green LED does not react as described above, switch off the PCI computer
and double-check the correct installation of the ICP Controller. For a GDT4xy3RZ Controller
also the LED "P" has to be On (this indicates that the PCI Slot delivers 3.3V DC).
The electronic loudspeaker of the ICP Controller gives forth a series of 4 sig-
nals with a pause between the first two).
