3.7 Connection through the SCSI interface
SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface and is pronounced
"skuzzy". It's a standard for connecting peripherals to your computer
via a standard hardware interface, which uses standard SCSI
commands. Your SCSI interface supports the Ultra SCSI (8-bit
Narrow) SCSI type interface.
In order to put together a PC with a SCSI interface for your scanner
you'll need:
•
A SCSI host adapter board (also called a SCSI controller)
•
SCSI driver software
•
A SCSI cable
How to set up the SCSI interface
Setting up the SCSI Interface requires the following steps. Each step
is described in detail in the following sections:
1. Install the SCSI host adapter board into an empty slot in PC.
2. Install the SCSI driver software that came with the scanner.
3. Connect the scanner to PC.
4. Set scanner DIL switches if the default settings require changing.
5. Set scanner DIL switch 4 termination properties.
3.7.1 Step 1: Install the SCSI host adapter board
1. Set the PC-system unit power-switch to OFF.
2. Set any external device power switches to OFF (such as printers,
displays etc.).
3. Unplug the PC-system unit and all other devices from the wall
outlet.
4. Remove the cover of your computer to expose the expansion
slots.
5. Align and insert the SCSI host adapter board into an empty slot.
6. Use the expansion slot panel screw to secure the host adapter to
the computer frame.
