Introduction:
Thank you for purchasing the USB XpressSCSI from Microtech International, Inc.
The USB XpressSCSI is a USB to SCSI converter for new Apple iMac, Apple G3, and PC Compatible
owners who wish to use their existing SCSI peripherals such as hard drives, Zip drives, and CD-
ROM drives on a USB enabled system. The USB XpressSCSI is easy to use and provides transfer
rates of up to 1.2MB/sec (12Mb/s).
What is the difference between part# USB-SCSI-DB25 and
part# USB-SCSI-HD50?
The USB XpressSCSI is available in two models — one features a DB25 Female SCSI connector
(USB-SCSI-DB25), the other features an HD50 Male SCSI connector (USB-SCSI-HD50). Although
the two versions are similar, there are a few important differences to consider:
USB-SCSI-DB25
This USB XpressSCSI model features a DB25 SCSI connector. Installation steps will vary
depending on the configuration of the SCSI devices in your system. Refer to Chapter 2:
"Connecting to a Macintosh" or Chapter 3: "Connecting to a PC Compatible" for more infor-
mation.
USB-SCSI-HD50
This version of the USB XpressSCSI features an HD50 male SCSI2 connector. Installation is
performed simply by connecting the male HD50 SCSI end of the USB XpressSCSI to the
female HD50 SCSI connector on your SCSI device. Refer to Chapter 2: "Connecting to a
Macintosh" or Chapter 3: "Connecting to a PC Compatible" for more information.

Installation Overview
The USB XpressSCSI is relatively easy to install and operate. To avoid complications during the
installation process, please follow the steps in order as described in this chapter.
Connecting a SCSI Device
Microtech includes accessories to help make setup as convenient and hassle free as possible.
The SCSI connector on your USB XpressSCSI model may or may not be the appropriate SCSI
connector to use in your system configuration (depending on the type of connectors on your
SCSI device(s) and the type of USB XpressSCSI you purchased). You may need to obtain an
adapter to properly connect the USB XpressSCSI to your SCSI device.
USB-SCSI-HD50 model
Plug the male HD50 SCSI-2 connector of the USB XpressSCSI directly to the female
HD50 SCSI-2 connector at the rear of your SCSI device.
Be sure the cable is securely attached to your SCSI device and then fasten with the built-
in locking clamps.
