4 Installation on Windows 98 / 95

1. Installing the interface card 2. Checking the interface card status

1.Turn off your PC and peripherals, and unplug the power cord. Next, remove the cover from your computer.

2.Before handling the interface card, touch a metal frame (such as your computer casing) to discharge any static electricity buildup in your body.

3.Look for an available PCI card slot in your computer, then insert the Adaptec PCI SCSI card (such as the Adaptec AVA-2903E or 2906E) into the slot. Push the card in to make sure it is seated all the way in the slot, then put the screw back into the bracket.

Proper card connection is important, as an improper card connection will make you unable to use your scanner, and you will then have to remove the computer case and start the process of card insertion all over again.

When Windows starts with the Adaptec SCSI card installed in your computer, the card is detected and the driver automatically installed. You may be asked to insert your Windows CD-ROM. Do so, and follow the steps below to check your card status.

1.In Windows, click Start, Settings, and then select Control Panel.

2.Double-click on the System icon in Control Panel and select Device Manager from the top.

3.Double-click on SCSI controllers to display the screen below. The string “Adaptec 7850 PCI SCSI Controller” indicates that the driver is installed.

4.Replace the cover of the computer, then plug the power cord back in.

5.Turn your PC back on.
