2. Installing Your PlexWriter SCSI Drive
This chapter explains how to
physically install your PlexWriter
SCSI drive.
This chapter illustrates how to install
the SCSI drive in your computer
(internal drive), or how to attach the
PlexWriter (external drive) to the
SCSI interface. The steps you’ll need
to do are as follows:
1. Turn OFF your computer system.
2. Set the SCSI ID for your new
PlexWriter drive.
3. Set the PlexWriter’s termination.
(By default, termination is
enabled.)
4. If you have a new PCI SCSI
interface board, insert it into an
available PCI slot in your
computer.
5. If you have an internal model
Plextor drive, mount the drive into
an available drive bay inside the
computer system.
6. Make all necessary cabling
connections: SCSI cable, power
cable, and audio cable.
7. Turn your computer system ON.
The following pages give more
details for this procedure.
Quickstart SCSI
Installation—For
Experienced PC Users Only
If you’ve installed computer peripherals
before, you’re in luck with the
PlexWriter drive. Use this “quickstart”
installation designed to get you up and
running quickly.
Scenario 1: You purchased a Plextor
Drive with SCSI Kit, the PlexWriter is
your only SCSI peripheral, and you
have Windows 95 or Windows 98.
What to do: Install the SCSI board,
plug in the PlexWriter, and go.
Windows will recognize the board.
After the SCSI board drivers are
installed, the drive’s drivers will
automatically be installed by the
operating system.
Scenario 2: You have a SCAM SCSI
board installed, the PlexWriter is your
only SCSI peripheral, and you have
Windows 95 or 98.
