Drive activity LED
A drive activity LED is designed into the host adapter to indicate when
a data transfer is being made. Connection to the LED is optional and
cabling is not included with this kit. Each host adapter has one four-pin
connector. Please refer to the host adapter’s illustration (FIGURE 10)
for the LED connector that will accomodate the LED cable.

Host computer configuration
Most computer manufacturers with a PCI bus automatically configure
the add on-card or host adapter I/O Port address, IRQ Setting and BIOS
address. If this is not the case with your computer system, you will
need to manually configure your system.
There are two means of configuring the PCI bus from the host com-
puter system:
1. Setting jumpers on the host system motherboard.
2. Setting CMOS BIOS incorporated into the host system.
You will need to refer to the host computer system documentation to
complete PCI bus activation and setup.
If the host system will be using a SCSI device to provide system boot
capability, then the system CMOS drive type settings may need to be
changed. Under some conditions the system will expect the boot disk
to be an IDE drive. This must be changed in order to boot from a SCSI
device.
