SCSI installation
On PC-DOS or compatible computers running Windows 98/ME/2000/XP or
Windows NT 4.0, you must first install the SCSI board before you connect the
scanner to your computer.
SCSI connection precautions
■
Power off your system, your scanner, and all peripheral devices before you
connect or disconnect SCSI cables. Failure to do this may result in a system
crash and, in some cases, destruction of data on your hard disk.
■
If the scanner is the last device on the SCSI bus, turn on the built-in active
SCSI terminator (switch 4). Otherwise make sure you turn this switch off. Do
not connect any other terminator on the unused SCSI connector, since switch
4 already specifies termination.
■
The total length of all SCSI cables must be less than 4 meters.
SCSI board installation
Attention:
Use only the SCSI board provided with the scanner. Do not
connect any other SCSI device to the same SCSI board.

To install the SCSI board on the computer
1
Power off computer unit and all peripherals, such as diplays or printers.
2
Unplug the computer and peripherals from the electrical outlet.
3
With a screwdriver, loosen the screws to remove the computer cover. Remove
the top cover to expose the extension slots.

5
Holding the SCSI board by its metal support bracket, align and press the board
firmly into the extension slot.
6
Use the back panel screw to secure the board to the computer frame (Put the
cover of the computer back on only after having completed the configuration).

For the SCSI driver installation under Windows 98/ME/2000/XP and Windows
NT, please refer to the documentation delivered with your SCSI package.
