quick solution here is to place your internal drive at one end of the SCSI ribbon
cable and the SCSI controller at the other end of the cable. Your CD-ROM
drive ships from the factory with termination enabled, so everything should be
fine. If you put another SCSI device between the controller and the drive, you
need to make sure termination is disabled on that device. For external devices,
if your drive is the last in a chain of devices, leave termination enabled. If it is
not last in the chain, disable termination.
Finally, controllers that are not SCAM capable will not likely have automatic
termination. You will need to make sure termination of your controller is set
properly. If you have both internal and external devices attached, the
termination on your controller should be disabled. Review the controller’s
documentation to determine how to do this. If you have only internal devices,
or only external devices, termination of your SCSI controller should remain
enabled.
Install Software
After your drive and SCSI controller are installed, it is time to make the right
software device driver files available to support your new controller. Turn on
your computer and start up Windows 95/98. Your system should automatically
detect and configure your SCSI controller. If you have just installed a new
controller, Windows 95/98 will recognize that it does not have the right driver
available. A dialog box named New Hardware Found appears, followed
immediately by a dialog box named Insert Disk. At this point, click on OK in
the Insert Disk dialog box and a second New Hardware Found dialog box will
appear. It will ask you to insert the Windows 95/98 disk or CD. If you do this,
it will automatically load the non-SCAM capable file.
Since your SCSI controller does not support SCAM, this is appropriate. After
inserting the disk or CD, select Browse in the dialog box and then select the
appropriate drive letter. The Windows 95/98 configuration process should
select the correct file off the floppy disk and copy it to the correct Windows
95/98 subdirectory on your hard drive.
It is possible that Windows 95/98 will not have the required support for your
SCSI controller. If that is the case, you will need to call the controller
manufacturer’s technical support department. If you still have problems, call
Plextor’s Technical Support Department at 800-886-3935.
Reboot Your Computer
Reboot your machine by selecting Shut Down from the Start button. Select
Restart the computer and select Yes. This will reboot your computer with the
new configuration.
