3 Inserting the host adapter

Orient the host adapter for installation so that the external connector is facing the

back of the system unit and align the card with the PCI connector on the system unit

(see FIGURE 3).

Holding the adapter by the mounting bracket and the card edge, match up the card

edge connector with the PCI host computer socket and insert the card into the

socket. Once the connector is in the PCI expansion slot socket tighten the mounting

bracket screw to secure the card in place.

4a Installation of internal SCSI cables

The number of internal and external connectors for Initios SCSI host adapters are

referenced in the hardware installation section (TABLE 2).

All internal connectors may be used simultaneously or singularly, depending on

your bus configuration. Installation of internal SCSI cables must be performed

before replacing the system covers. The internal ribbon cable is made with multiple

connectors attached and used to daisy chain the host adapter with two or more

devices. It is important that the cable be installed correctly for proper operation.

The cable has a colored stripe running the length of the cable, on the edge distin-

guishing the pin one side of the connector. These identifying markings must match

when mated on the host adapter board.
