1-3

Hardware Requirements

Your PCI computer needs:

• One available PCI bus master expansion slot for each FlashPoint

being

installed

• A 3.5" floppy drive

• DC power for internal SCSI drives or AC power for external

subsystems

You need the following cables:

• A 50-pin cable with a high-density connector to connect the

FlashPoint adapter to external devices

• A 50-pin, flat ribbon cable to connect internal SCSI devices to the

FlashPoint adapter (included with adapter kit)

• An optional cable to connect the drive activity LED on the host front

panel to the FlashPoint adapter

☛

Note

The device activity LED cable is usually supplied
with the host system.

The peripherals you are attaching to the FlashPoint adapter should be
SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 Common Command Set (CCS) compatible.
