2-2 Installing the LSIU80ALVD
Step 4. Locate the slots for installing a PCI plug-in board. The
LSIU80ALVD requires a PCI slot that allows bus master
operation. See
Table 2.2 .
Step 5. Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer
aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the bracket
screw.
Step 6. Carefully insert the edge connector J1 of the host adapter into
the PCI slot. Make sure the edge connector is properly aligned
before pressing the board into place. See
Figure 2.2 .
Note: You may notice that the components on a PCI host adapter
face the opposite way from non-PCI adapter boards you
have in your system. This is correct, and the board is keyed
to go in only one way.
Step 7. The bracket around connector J3 (see Figure 2.1 ) should fit
where the blank bracket panel was removed. Secure the
bracket with the bracket screw before making the internal and
external SCSI bus connections.
Step 8. If you are connecting any internal SCSI devices, plug a 68-pin
connector on the end of the internal SCSI ribbon cable into
connector J2 (see
Figure 2.1 ). Make certain to match pin 1 on
both connectors.
Step 9. Connect the LED cable if desired. This is designed to drive an
off-board system LED and indicates activity on the SCSI bus.
The off-board LED will operate at the same time as the
on-board SCSI Activity LED.
Step 10. Replace the cabinet cover as described in the user’s manual for
your computer.
Step 11. Make all external SCSI bus connections. Finally, refer to the
PCI Storage Device Management System SDMS 4.0 User’s
Guide (or the guide for the software you will use) to load the
driver software for your particular operating system.
Remember: The SCSI bus requires proper termination, and no duplicate
SCSI IDs.
