To install the SCSI board:
1.
Before proceeding, make sure the power to your computer and any external
peripherals is OFF and your computer is UNPLUGGED from its power source.
Figure 8: Removing a Typical Computer's Cover
2.
Remove your computer’s cover, following the directions provided by your
computer’s manufacturer. Typically, this involves loosening or removing several
screws on the back panel of your computer and sliding off the cover.
See Figure 8 for details.
3.
Carefully remove the SCSI interface board from its packaging.
CAUTION
: Discharge any static electricity you may have on your body by touching a
grounded object before you remove the host adapter from its packaging.
4.
Select a vacant slot in your computer where you will install the board (refer to the
manual packaged with your interface board for instructions as to which slot in
your system to use). If your PlexWriter is an internal drive, try to pick a slot that
is closest to where the drive will be installed.
5.
Remove the cover plate for this slot from the back panel of your computer. Keep
the screw from the cover plate nearby, as you will need it in a moment. Save the
cover plate in case you need it at a later date.
