Plug and Play Installation
Install Hardware
You should be able to simply install your SCSI controller, CD-ROM drive, and
all cabling without any concern for things like SCSI ID selection. First, turn
OFF your computer system, then review Chapter 8. You should also familiarize
yourself with Chapter 7: Termination. However, the quick solution here is to
place your internal drive at one end of the SCSI ribbon cable and the SCSI con-
troller at the other end of the cable. Your drive ships from the factory with ter-
mination 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 dis-
abled on that device. For external devices, if your Plextor drive is the last in a
chain of devices, leave termination enabled. If it is not last in the chain, dis-
able termination. All SCAM capable boards should have the ability to auto-
matically set termination of the board itself so you should not have to deal
with this. Once your hardware is plugged in, it is time to play. But first, we
have to take care of that little device driver problem.
Install Software
After your CD-ROM drive and SCSI controller are installed, it is time to make
the right software file available to complete your Plug and Play environment.
Turn on your computer, and your system should automatically detect and
configure your SCSI controller. When you start Windows 95/98, it will then
recognize that it does not have the right driver available for your new SCSI
controller. A dialog box named New Hardware Found appears, followed
immediately by a dialog box named Insert Disk. At this point, click 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. DON’T DO IT.
If you do put in your Microsoft disk or CD, Windows 95/98 may 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. The Windows 95/98 configuration process should
select the correct file from the disk and copy it to the correct Windows 95/98
subdirectory on your hard drive.
If you purchased a SCAM capable SCSI controller separately, the correct file
should be located on a disk provided with the controller. We suggest you try
using this disk (supplied by the manufacturer of your SCSI controller) rather
