To prepare your OmniBook for SCSI devices
1. Save any open files—you will be rebooting your computer.
2. In the C:\CONFIG.SYS file, remove the rem characters from the INCLUDE=SCSI
line.
3. Exit Windows if necessary, then press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot your OmniBook.
Connecting SCSI Devices
To connect a CD-ROM drive or other SCSI device, first turn off your OmniBook, then
connect the device. When you turn on your OmniBook, Windows automatically detects
the new device and sets it up. If necessary, Windows requests information about the
device.
To connect SCSI devices
1. Make sure that each SCSI device is set to a different SCSI ID number, ID 0 through
ID 6. See the device’s documentation for instructions for checking and changing
the device’s ID.
2. Set the SCSI bus termination for each device.
The device at the end of the SCSI bus must be terminated, while the devices in the
middle of the bus must have their terminators removed or disabled. The device’s
documentation describes how to check and change the termination.
3. Connect the devices to the OmniBook, following these guidelines:
•
Connect the peripheral devices one after the other—a “daisy-chain” connection.
•
Be certain to place the terminated device at the end of the SCSI bus.
4. Plug each SCSI device into a proper electrical outlet. See the device’s
documentation for details.
