You will have to open your computer to install the DC-2974 PCI SCSI
hostadapter. Please note the relevant manufacturer's guarantee terms. Switch off and
unplug the computer before you ever open the casing! Plug the DC-2974 PCI SCSI
hostadapter into any free 32-bit "bus master" PCI slot.
3. Connecting SCSI Devices
You can connect up to 7 different SCSI devices to theSCSI bus. Every SCSI
device is assigned its own SCSI-ID which is an address where commands destined
for the relevant device are to be sent to. Please make sure to set a different ID for every
connected device. DC-2974 PCI SCSI Host Aadapter automatically finds the SCSI-
ID it needs.
4. SCSI Bus Termination
To ensure trouble-free signal transfer, both ends of the SCSI bus are to be
connected to so-called Termination Resistors. Therefore it is mandatory to disable the
active terminators on the DC-2974 PCI SCSI hostadapter when you connect devices
to two connectors of the hostadapter at the same time. If you have chosen Automatic
SCSI termination the SCSI hostadapter takes care of termination automatically.
Please note that you have to disable the termination as you connect more than one
device, until only the last device at the SCSI bus has to be terminated. Always check
compliance with these conditions first if any functional defects occur.
5. Installation under Windows 95, 98, ME
5.1 General Information
Windows 95, 98 as well as Windows ME have a built-in standardised SCSI
interface that allows you
to adapt your specific
hardware to the different
SCSI host-adapters.
Hardware adaptation is
done by driver
„DC2974.MPD" located
in the „\WIN95-98"
directory on your
installation diskette. The
file „DC2974.INF" (also
stored in the „\WIN95-
98" directory) controls
the Windows Installer.
The device drivers
required for running CD-
ROM or removable disk
drives etc. are part of
