Hardware Installation
Installing the Ultra66 controller card in a system is a simple process. The card fits
into any available 32-bit PCI slot on the system’s motherboard (see Figure 1-2).
Controller Card Installation
1
Remove the cover of your system.
2
Remove the inside slot cover of an available 32-bit PCI slot on the
motherboard.
3
Install the Ultra66 controller card into the open slot (see Figure 1-2).
4
Attach your system case’s 2- or 4-pin
LED
cable to the
LED
connec-
tor on the Ultra66 controller card (see Figure 1-1). Make sure that
pin 1 on the connector is aligned with pin 1 of the cable.
5
Fasten the controller card bracket to the system case (see Figure 1-2).
Hard Drive Installation
If you’re installing Ultra66 into a system with an existing Windows
NT
operating system, do not connect any hard drives to the Ultra66 con-
troller before installing the driver software. Drives attached to the Ultra66
controller card cannot boot Windows
NT
without driver support.
1
Configure the jumpers of the hard drives you’re preparing to install
with Ultra66 with the proper master/slave settings. You may need
to refer to your hard drive’s manual for more information.
2
Install the hard drives in the proper hard drive bays of your system.
3
Attach the
IDE
cable to the hard drives and to the
IDE
connectors
on the Ultra66 controller card (unless you’re installing Ultra66 on
a system with Windows
NT
already installed; see “Hard Drive
Installation,” above, for more information). The colored edge of the
cable(s) indicates pin 1 (see Figure 1.1), and the blue cable con-
nector must be attached to the Ultra66 connector.
