To install the FFD:
1.
Power down the PC.
2.
Remove the PC cover.
3.
Before connecting the FFD to the host adapter, check the adapter’s memory, I/O and IRQ
settings and verify that they do not conflict with any other devices installed in the system.
4.
Configure the FFD header settings as described in Section 11.5.
5.
Connect either the 68-pin ribbon cable between the FFD and the adapter, or the 80-pin FFD
connector to the 80-pin socket. Neither the host adapter nor the FFD must be at the physical
end of the cable, unless they are the only two devices connected to the bus. If additional
drives are present in the system, verify that the cable runs from device to device in a
continuous manner, without branches.
6.
Verify that the SCSI bus is properly terminated.
7.
Connect the power cable from the PC power supply to the FFD. (Not required for 80-pin
SCA-2 connector).
8.
Mount the FFD in a free 3.5” drive bay.
9.
Close the PC cover.
10.
Power ON the PC. The host adapter’s BIOS sign-on message is displayed listing all installed
devices. You are now ready to use the FFD.
Note: If you encounter any problems, refer to Section 12 for troubleshooting.
