Buz Box Connections 1. Connect the Buz box cable to the Buz card on the back of your computer. The longer connector on the back of the Buz card is the connector for external SCSI devices (such as Jaz drives). A variety of SCSI devices can connect to the Buz card. See your SCSI device documentation for proper connection. - Page 13 Buz Box connector: The fifteen-pin connector from the Buz Box goes to the matching connector of the Buz card. Look at this plug carefully. Check orientation before connecting. After connecting, tighten the thumbscrews. Avoid bending any pins. Audio In: The smaller of the two Buz audio connectors is the Audio In connector. Connect it to the Microphone port on the back of your computer.
- Page 14 Out: Audio The larger of the two Buz audio connectors is the Buz Audio Out Pass- through connector. It should be plugged into the speaker port on the back of your computer. If you have a connector for external speakers already plugged into the speaker port, disconnect and reconnect it into the back of the Pass-through connector so your speakers will continue to work.
