ULTRAPLEX 40X OPERATION MANUAL

a hurry to get started, you can probably unplug the power connector from your
5.25" floppy drive (if you have one) and plug it into your CD-ROM drive. You
will be able to use your drive until you have the opportunity to buy a “splitter”
or “Y-connector”. (Of course, you will lose the use of your 5.25" drive until
you buy a splitter/Y-connector.)
If your computer has only a 3.5" floppy disk drive, you may find that you do
not have a power connector that is the correct size to plug into your CD-ROM
drive. Once again, you can turn to your local computer store for a splitter to
solve this problem.
A third cable, an audio cable, must be used if there is a soundboard in your
system. This cable runs from the four-pin audio output connector on the rear
panel of your drive to your soundboard. See page 36 for more information
about audio cables.
Installation of your internal drive is now complete, skip to page 38.
External Drive Installation
YOUR TASK:
Connect cables from your external drive to your PC
or Mac. Check to see if switch, dial, and terminator
settings need to be adjusted.
YOUR OBJECTIVE:
A well-functioning drive that does not conflict with
any other peripherals in your computer system.
YOUR METHOD:
Follow the directions below for making cable
connections. Review your current computer setup
to see if potential conflicts exist. If so, make the
necessary switch, dial, and/or terminator changes.
If you are installing a single UltraPleX and you have no other SCSI peripherals
attached to your system, you should leave the switches, dial, and terminator
(found on the rear panel) of your drive at their factory settings. If you do have
additional SCSI peripherals (e.g., scanner, printer) attached to your computer,
you may need to change your dial and terminator settings. See Chapters 6 and
7 for information on how to change these settings.
If you are installing a single UltraPleX external drive, connect it as shown on
the next page.
