2.3 Connect Internal Devices
Connect internal devices to the adapter according to the following steps.
(1). Connect one end of the internal SCSI cable to any one of the adapter’s 2 inter-
nal connectors.
(2). Find an unused connector on the other end of the cable, and connect it to your
SCSI device.
(3). Repeat step 2 if you want to connect more than one devices.
(4). Add a terminator to the last end of the cable.
(5). Be sure that the devices’ ID numbers don’t conflict with one another.
(6). Do not set SCSI ID to 7, which is reserved for the host adapter.

Chapter 3 System Installation
3.1 Install AEC-67162M into the New OS
Here we take OS 9 and OS X 10.3 as examples to show the installation into the
hard drive connected with AEC-67162M. After installation you can boot from AEC-
67162M or the original hard drive.
3.1.1 In Mac OS 9
1. Be sure that the hardware is installed correctly.
2. Insert the OS 9 source CD into CD/DVD-ROM.
3. Power on and press “C” key.
4. Wait for the appearance of OS 9.
5. Double click “Utilities”.
After installing hardware, please install the driver of AEC-67162M. There are two
choices. The first one is to install the driver into a new OS that is in the hard drive
connected to AEC-67162M as stated in 3.1. The second one is to install the driver
into an existed OS as stated in 3.2.
No driver of AEC-67162M is built in OS X 10.1.x and 10.2.x, so you
cannot install an OS into the hard drive connected to the adapter and
boot hence.
