Non-Plug and Play Installation
Install Hardware
Refer to the Operation Manual for instructions on installing your SCSI controller,
cabling, and CD-ROM drive. If your non-PCI controller has Plug and Play features but
your computer system is not supporting Plug and Play, you will need to disable the
Plug and Play capabilities on your SCSI controller. Review the controller’s documen-
tation (check the Quick Start Guide or similar document first) to determine the location
of the disable switch.
You might want to familiarize yourself with the chapter on Termination in your drive’s
Operation Manual. However, the 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.
Install Software
After your CD-ROM drive and SCSI controller are installed, it is time to make the right
software device driver file available to support your new controller.
Turn on your
computer and start up Windows 95, and your system should automatically detect and
configure your SCSI controller. If you have just installed it, Windows 95 will then
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
disk or CD. Please, DON’T DO IT. If you do put in your Microsoft disk or CD, Windows
95 will automatically load the non-SCAM capable file for the SCSI controller we
provided.
Instead, if you purchased a Plextor kit with SCSI controller, insert the Plextor Manager
disk. This disk has the SCAM capable support file for your SCSI controller to complete
your Plug and Play CD-ROM environment. After inserting the disk, select ‘‘Browse’’
in the dialog box and then select the appropriate drive letter (probably A:\). The
Windows 95 configuration process should select the correct file off the floppy disk
and copy it to the correct Windows 95 subdirectory on your hard drive.
If you purchased a SCAM capable SCSI controller separately, the correct file is
hopefully located on a disk provided with the controller. We suggest you first try using
this disk supplied by the manufacturer of your SCSI controller rather than inserting the
