Step 4. Locate the slots for installing a PCI plug-in board. The LSIU80ALVD requires a PCI slot that allows bus master operation. See Table 2.2.

Step 5. Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the bracket screw.

Step 6. Carefully insert the edge connector J1 of the host adapter into the PCI slot. Make sure the edge connector is properly aligned before pressing the board into place. See Figure 2.2.

Note: You may notice that the components on a PCI host adapter face the opposite way from non-PCI adapter boards you have in your system. This is correct, and the board is keyed to go in only one way.

Step 7. The bracket around connector J3 (see Figure 2.1) should fit where the blank bracket panel was removed. Secure the bracket with the bracket screw before making the internal and external SCSI bus connections.

Step 8. If you are connecting any internal SCSI devices, plug a 68-pin connector on the end of the internal SCSI ribbon cable into connector J2 (see Figure 2.1). Make certain to match pin 1 on both connectors.

Step 9. Connect the LED cable if desired. This is designed to drive an off-board system LED and indicates activity on the SCSI bus. The off-board LED will operate at the same time as the on-board SCSI Activity LED.

Step 10. Replace the cabinet cover as described in the user’s manual for your computer.

Step 11. Make all external SCSI bus connections. Finally, refer to the PCI Storage Device Management System SDMS 4.0 User’s Guide (or the guide for the software you will use) to load the driver software for your particular operating system.

Remember: The SCSI bus requires proper termination, and no duplicate SCSI IDs.
