ULTRAPLEX 40X OPERATION MANUAL
APPENDIX — Windows 95/98 Installation Guide
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 documentation (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.
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 95/98. Your system should auto-
matically detect and configure your SCSI controller. If you have just installed
it, Windows 95/98 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 95/98 disk or CD. Please, DON’T
DO IT. If you do put in your Microsoft disk or CD, Windows 95/98 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 95/98 configuration
process should select the correct file off the floppy 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 is
hopefully located on a disk provided with the controller. We suggest you try
