Before You Begin

WARNING! PCI cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely damaged by static

electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your computer case or

touching your PCI card. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap

when installing any computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge

yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface

(such as the computer case) for several seconds. Also be careful to handle the PCI card

by its edges and not the gold connectors.

System Requirements

An IBM-compatible computer running Windows Vista (32-bit)/Server 2003/•

XP/2000/98/95, NT 4.0, DOS, NetWare

• An available 32-bit 5V PCI slot

Contents

This package should contain:

• 1 x PCI SCSI card

• 1 x 68-pin (half pitch) internal SCSI cable

• 1 x 50-pin internal SCSI cable

• Driver Installation Disk

• Instruction Manual

Instruction Manual

Installation

This section will guide you through the installation of your PCI card and the related

software. Please read through the instructions carefully and complete each step in the

order listed.

Installing the Card

1. Make sure that your system is unplugged and you are grounded.

2. Remove the cover of your system (see your computer's user manual for details, if

necessary) and gently turn your computer onto its side.

3. Locate an empty PCI slot (usually white in colour) and remove the metal plate that

covers the rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step.

Retain the screw! You will need it to secure the card later.

4. Gently insert the card into the empty slot, making sure it is firmly seated.

5. Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3.

6. Physically install your SCSI devices into your case, following the instructions in their

documentation. If you need more information about connecting and terminating your

devices on the SCSI card, please see the next subsection, “Connecting and

Terminating Your SCSI Devices” below before closing the case. Otherwise, connect

the data cables to both the card and your devices(s) as needed, and complete step 7.

7. Put your computer case back on.

NOTE: You may also wish to use the card’s integrated SCSI BIOS utility to view and

configure SCSI devices attached to the card. You can access this utility by following the

on-screen instructions at boot-up.

Connecting and Terminating Your SCSI Devices

1. Connect one end of your internal SCSI ribbon cable (either 50-pin, 68-pin, or both,

depending on the devices you need to connect) to your SCSI card, making sure

that the red stripe faces pin 1. The connector that is furthest away from the other

connectors should be connected to the card.

NOTE: The cable connectors have been formed so that it is difficult to connect the

devices in an improper fashion.

2. Connect the SCSI cable to your SCSI device, again making sure that the red stripe

faces pin 1.

3. Repeat step 2 for any other SCSI devices you wish to attach at this time.

4. When you have connected all your devices, you must make sure that both the

internal and external chains of the SCSI bus are terminated. Most SCSI peripherals

will come with their own terminators. Follow the instructions in the peripheral’s user

guide to terminate the SCSI chain.

NOTE: StarTech.com offers a wide range of internal and external SCSI cables and

terminators to suit your needs. Refer to the “Accessory Products from StarTech.com”

section of this manual or visit www.startech.com for more information.

Windows 2000/XP) option. Click Next.

2. Uncheck all boxes on this screen and click Next.

3. The Wizard will inform you that “Windows is now ready to install the best driver for

this device...” Click Next.. The Wizard will complete the installation. Click Finish.
