Connecting a PowerLab to
the computer (25-pin
connector shown)
Chapter 2 — Setting Up
The card should have full instructions on installation with it. The
SCSI adapter card will usually be terminated, and at one end of the
chain (this is always the case for PC card SCSI adapters), although if
the computer has built-in SCSI, you may have an internal SCSI device
in your PC that is terminated, with the host adapter in the middle of
the chain. If there is a problem with cables, or you are unsure about
any devices, such as a hard disk, connected to your computer on SCSI
internally, your PC technical support person or IS manager should be
able to help you.
If the PowerLab is the only SCSI device to connect to the computer,
then simply connect the two together with the correct SCSI cable, and
turn the SCSI termination switch on. If you wish to use multiple SCSI
devices with the computer, the first and last devices in the chain
should be terminated. The PowerLab must be at the end of the chain,
since it has only one SCSI connector, and its internal terminator must
be switched on.

SCSI Cards with Windows NT or Older Computers
Windows 95 and 98 both come with a number of generic SCSI drivers
already installed that should work with most cards, including any
that ADInstruments supplies. Windows NT may not have the right
