installing the Card

Your computer has several standard option slots that can accommodate either the Adaptec SCSI or the bidirectional parallel adapter card. You can install the interface card in any available slot. See your computer manual for detailed installation instructions or follow these general steps:

1.Remove any retaining screws from the metal option slot cover and remove the slot cover. Keep the screw(s) to secure the option card to the computer. Store the slot cover in a safe place in case you remove the interface card later.

2.Grip the interface card firmly by the top corners and make sure the connector points down.

3.Insert the card into the slot, guiding it straight down. Once the connector reaches the slot, push the card down firmly (but carefully) to insert it fully. You should feel the card fit into place.

4.Secure the end of the card to the back of the computer with the retaining screw(s).

1.Replace the cover. (If you need instructions, see your computer manual.)
