Installation Tips
Listed below are important compatibility/functionality tips to ease your
installation and configuration process.
1. Using Ultra2 Hard Disk Drives
To connect to Ultra2 drives to the Ultra2 SCSI connector, you must
use the SCSI cable which has terminators.
Attach only Ultra2 SCSI devices to the Ultra2 SCSI bus segment to
ensure that Ultra devices run at their maximum 80Mbyte/sec burst
rate.
2. Using Ultra Wide SCSI Hard Disk Drives
To avoid termination issues, we recommend that the last device on
the 68-pin Ultra Wide SCSI cable is a 68-pin Ultra Wide SCSI
device.
3. Identifying Devices at Boot-up
At boot-up, the SCSI interface BIOS will display the device ID’s of
each attached device, the bus segment to which it is attached (Ultra2
or Fast SCSI), and the mode (LVD-Ultra2 or SE-Ultra) in which it is
running.
Example:
SCSI#1 - Seagate Caviar Ultra2- LVD
In this case, the term “Ultra2” indicates that the drive is attached to
the Ultra2 bus segment and the term “LVD” indicates that the drive is
operating at LVD-Ultra2 mode (80Mbyte/sec).
4. Installing Windows 95 4.03
We recommend that you install the enclosed SCSI software after
installing Windows 95 to avoid conflicts in the Device Manager with
the DOS driver, ASPI8U2.SYS.
