3-2 Installing the LS-10 Scanner

Installing the internal-mount scanner is very easy. The guide rails provided with the scanner must be screwed to the two sides of the scanner. The scanner must be inserted into the drive bay using the computer drive bay slots. Connections to the back of the scanner include the computer power and the SCSI flat cable.

Due to the tight space constraints inside the computer, it is not possible to connect the cables to the scanner after the scanner is installed . The SCSI cable and terminating networks are easier to connect to the scanner before the scanner is mounted in drive bay. The computer power connector is typically easiest to connect to the scanner when the scanner is partially pushed into the drive bay.

Installing the guide rails

Each computer can have its own special requirements for mounting devices into the internal drive bays. In most cases, a pair of guide rails are screwed to the sides of the scanner to slide into the drive bay as shown in Figure 3.3. These guide rails are also used to lock the scanner in place.

The computer drive bays

In order for a scanner to be mounted internal to the computer, the computer must have the following :

1.An externally accessible 5 1/4" half-height bay

2.A standard power supply connector

3.A card slot available on the motherboard
