Installing the SlimSCSI 1450

Follow these steps to install the SlimSCSI 1450 and connect your

SCSI devices to it:

Remove the SlimSCSI 1450 from its packaging.

Plug the 50-pin connector into the first (or only) SCSI device, as

shown below. Make sure the SCSI device is not powered.

If the SCSI device has a DB25 (25-pin) connector, attach the

50-pin-to-DB25 converter, as shown below, and plug it into the

connector on the device.

Installing the SlimSCSI 1450

(Optional) Connect up to two additional SCSI devices by daisy-

chaining them to the first device, as shown below:

Be sure that each SCSI device has a unique SCSI ID ranging

from 0 to 6. If any two devices have the same ID, change the

SCSI ID of one device. This is usually done by changing a

switch on the back of the device. (For more information, see

SCSI IDs on page 8.)

The diagram below shows a typical SCSI device with a select-

able SCSI ID switch:

Terminate the last (or only) SCSI device connected to the

SlimSCSI 1450. Read the device documentation if you are not

sure how to terminate the device, or refer to Terminating the

SCSI Bus on page 9.

SlimSCSI 1450 Adapter User’s Guide

Be sure that at least one external SCSI device provides SCSI

bus termination power or that the last device on the bus sup-

plies termination power to itself. Read the device documenta-

tion if you are not sure whether the SCSI device provides

termination power.

Connect all power cables to the SCSI device(s). Then power up

the device(s).

Insert the SlimSCSI 1450 into one of your portable PC’s

PC Card slots, as shown below:

Power up your portable PC.

This completes the physical installation of your SlimSCSI 1450 and

SCSI devices. Next, you need to update the SlimSCSI Windows 95

miniport driver.
