Termination of the E100 Card
The E100’s automatic termination feature senses when cables are
attached to the card. When it detects an attached cable, the E100 then
checks to see if a SCSI device is attached. If a device is attached, and if
the card is at one end of the SCSI chain, then the card provides any
needed termination automatically.
Starting Up from a Drive Connected to the E100
You can make a drive connected to the E100 your startup device. If you
are installing all of the SCSI devices onto the E100, you must first
make one drive the startup device, then install the rest of the devices.
You may also just start up from the CD supplied with your SuperMac
computer.
If you are using an existing motherboard-connected SCSI drive for
your startup drive, just start up from that drive and use the Startup
Disk Control Panel to switch the startup drive to one connected to the
E100 card.
To make a drive connected to the E100 the startup drive when an
existing drive is used for startup:
1.
Connect the drive you plan to use for startup to the E100 card.
2.
Start up from your current hard disk.
3.
Through the Startup Disk Control Panel, select the disk connected
to the E100, then shut down.
4.
Connect any other devices to the E100 card.
For specific instructions on how to connect your drives, including
how to properly set SCSI IDs, refer to the documentation enclosed
with the drives.
5.
Start up your SuperMac computer. It will now start up from the
desired device.
