Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Adaptec’s USBConnectTM 2000

adapter. The USBConnect 2000 adapter allows SCSI devices to plug

into the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port of your PC or MAC

computer.

The built-in SCSI controller in the USBConnect 2000 adapter allows

you to connect up to seven SCSI devices to your desktop or portable

PC or MAC. These devices include the Iomega Jaz drive, CD-ROM

drives, hard disk drives, Magneto-optical (MO) drives and most

scanners.

Overview

The USBConnect 2000 adapter is designed as an integrated adapter

and 50-pin high-density (SCSI 2) connector and is available as a

■USB-to-SCSI with a 50 pin Micro-D SCSI-2 type connector

Note: The USBConnect 2000 adapter is designed as a self-

powered device and as such receives it’s power from the ter-

mination power line of the attached SCSI devices. As a

result, all SCSI devices must supply termination power.

Some devices such as the Iomega Zip drive and some

scanners do not provide termination power and therefore

can only be used if they are attached to the SCSI chain with

another SCSI device that provides termination power.
