SlimSCSI 1480 User’s Guide

Note:

The CardBus specification differs from the standard

PC Card (PCMCIA) specification. As a result, CardBus

adapters like the SlimSCSI 1480 will not operate in, and can-

not be inserted in, a standard PC Card slot.

Installing the SlimSCSI 1480

Follow these steps to install the SlimSCSI 1480 and connect your

SCSI devices to it:

Remove the SlimSCSI 1480 from its packaging.

Determine which of the two 50-pin cables you will use to con-

nect the SlimSCSI 1480 to your first (or only) SCSI device. To

do this, see which cable connector (high-density or low-den-

sity) fits the SCSI connector on the back of the device.

Note:

If your SCSI device has a DB25 (25-pin) connec-

tor, you can order a free DB25 cable from Adaptec by

sending in the card included in this User’s Guide.

Connect the SlimSCSI cable to the SlimSCSI 1480, as shown

below:

Installing the SlimSCSI 1480

Plug the other end of the cable into the first (or only) SCSI

device, as shown below. Make sure the SCSI device is not

powered.

(Optional) Connect up to two additional UltraSCSI devices by

daisy-chaining them to the first device, as shown below:

Be sure that each SCSI device has a unique SCSI ID ranging

from 0 to 6. If any two devices have the same ID, change the

SCSI ID of one device. This is usually done by changing a

switch on the back of the device. (For more information, see

SCSI IDs on page 10.)

SlimSCSI 1480 User’s Guide

The diagram below shows a typical SCSI device with a select-

able SCSI ID switch:

Terminate the last (or only) SCSI device connected to the

SlimSCSI 1480. Read the device documentation if you are not

sure how to terminate the device, or refer to Terminating the

SCSI Bus on page 11.

Be sure that at least one external SCSI device provides SCSI

bus termination power or that the last device on the bus sup-

plies termination power to itself. Read the device documenta-

tion if you are not sure whether the SCSI device provides

termination power.

Connect all power cables to the SCSI devices. Then power up

all the devices.

Insert the SlimSCSI 1480 into one of your portable PC’s Card-

Bus slots.

Power up your portable PC.

Next, you must install the SlimSCSI Windows 95 driver.

Installing the SlimSCSI Windows 95 Driver

Installing the SlimSCSI

Windows 95 Driver

If Windows 95 is not already running, start it now.

If the SlimSCSI 1480 is not already inserted in the CardBus slot,

insert it now. Then wait until Windows 95 finishes building the

database information for the adapter. The Windows 95 Update

Device Driver Wizard starts automatically.

When you are prompted by the Update Device Driver wizard,

insert the SlimSCSI 1480 Setup Diskette for Windows 95 in the

floppy disk drive. Click the Next button.

Note:

Refer to the Windows 95 Device Driver Wizard

Help if you have questions about installing the driver.

If you see Adaptec APA-1480 CardBus SCSI Controller in the

dialog box, click the Finish button.

If you see a message prompting you to insert the disk that is

already in the floppy drive, click OK. Then type a: as the

source from which to copy files and click OK again.

Wait until the PC Card (PCMCIA) icon appears on the

Windows taskbar in the lower right corner of the screen. This

indicates that the driver is successfully installed!

If the PC Card icon does not appear on the taskbar, click the

Start button and select Settings and Control Panel. In the Con-

trol Panel, double-click the PC Card (PCMCIA) icon. In the

Properties dialog box, select Show control on taskbar if it is

not already selected and click OK. The PC Card icon should

then appear on the taskbar.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed the SlimSCSI 1480!

Using the SlimSCSI Adapter

Hot Plugging

After you install the APA-1480 driver for the SlimSCSI 1480, you can

insert or remove the SlimSCSI 1480 at any time except when data is

being transferred on the SCSI bus. This is called hot plugging. (You

can tell that data is being transferred if the SCSI device activity light

is on.) Follow these steps to remove the SlimSCSI 1480 while

Windows 95 is running

Click on the small PC Card (PCMCIA) icon in the lower right

corner of the screen. You will see a dialog box similar to the

following:

Select Adaptec APA-1480 CardBus UltraSCSI Adapter.

Click the Stop button.

When you see the message You may safely remove this device,

remove the SlimSCSI 1480 from the slot.
