6.03 INSTALLING SCSI DEVICES

The VIPer807 uses the Adaptec AIC-6370 Single Chip Plug and Play ISA-to SCSI Host
Adapter. Its features include a maximum SCSI transfer rate of up to 10 MB per second
(Fast SCSI), asynchronous or synchronous SCSI transfer, up to 10 MB per second burst
data rate on the ISA bus, and bootable SCSI hard disk drive support.
6.03.1 INSTALLING A SCSI HARD DISK
This section will explain how to install a fixed SCSI Hard Disk on your system. No
additional hardware or drivers are necessary if no more than two IDE/SCSI hard disks are
present in your system.
To install your fixed SCSI hard disk, follow these steps:
1 - VIP-UP Setup
It is important that you configure your VIPer807 properly with the VIP-UP software utility
prior to physically installing your SCSI hard disk. The On Board SCSI DEVICE and the
On Board SCSI BIOS options of the VIP-UP screen must be set at Enabled. When done,
update your VIP-UP Setup by pressing the F10 key.
You should not "install" your SCSI hard disk type in AMIBIOS Setup (only your IDE
hard disk).
2 - Jumpers (Power Off)
Now, power off your computer. In most cases, the VIPer807 board's initial jumper settings
should be kept, unless there is a conflict with other devices you have installed.
The W2 jumper determines whether the VIPer807 board is terminated by hardware or by
software. The settings are:
- Pins 1-2 shorted: Termination enabled by hardware: This is the initial setting, or
- Pins 2-3 shorted: Termination enabled/disabled by software, or
- No jumper:
Jumper locations and settings appear in Section 3 of this manual.
