INTRODUCTION
With the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro, you can connect up to 15
SCSI devices to any IBM-compatible computer with PCI
expansion slots.
This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for
• Installing the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro
• Connecting internal SCSI devices
• Connecting external SCSI devices
• Installing the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro software
See the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro User’s Reference for additional
information on using the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro.
After you turn off your computer and unplug the power cord,
remove the cover from the computer.
If you need guidance, refer to your computer manual for
instructions on removing the cover.
Discharge any static electricity build-up before handling your
SCSI card by touching a grounded metal object (like the
exposed metal parts on the back of your computer).
INSTALLING THE SCSI CARD 2940UW PRO
STEP 1
STEP 2
Turn OFF power to the computer and disconnect the
power cord.

Locate an unused PCI expansion slot (typically white or ivory)
and remove the expansion slot cover.(The expansion slot
must be PCI Rev. 2.0 or higher compliant and must support
Bus Mastering.) Save the slot
cover screw for use in Step 4.
Computers may have vertical
or horizontal expansion slots.
Refer to your computer
manual to locate
the PCI slots.

STEP 4
PCI Expansion Slots
(Typically White or Ivory)
Insert the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro
into the PCI expansion slot; push
down firmly until it clicks into
place, then replace the slot cover
screw.
You are ready to install
internal SCSI devices.
To install external SCSI
devices only, replace
your computer cover
and skip to Connecting
External SCSI Devices.

Verify that each internal SCSI device you are installing has a
unique SCSI ID from 0 to 6 (0 to 6 and 8 to 15 for“Wide”SCSI
devices). Refer to the device’s documentation to determine the
SCSI ID setting.
If any two SCSI devices (internal or external) you are connect-
ing to the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro share the same SCSI ID,
change the SCSI ID on one device.The SCSI Card 2940UW Pro
is preset to SCSI ID 7 and should not be changed. See the SCSI
Card 2940UW Pro User’s Reference for additional information
on SCSI IDs.
If you are installing only one internal SCSI device,terminate
that device. If you have two or more devices on each cable,ter-
minate one device on each cable; the remaining devices must
not be terminated. (The terminated device must be connected
to the end of each cable, as explained in Step 5 below.)
The termination setting usually is controlled by setting a
jumper or a switch, or by physically removing or installing a
terminator module(s).Refer to the device’s documentation
to enable or disable termination on your device. See the SCSI
Card 2940UW Pro User’s Reference for additional information
on termination.
CONNECTING INTERNAL SCSI DEVICES
STEP 1
STEP 2
Mount each internal SCSI
device in an available
drive bay inside your
computer.
Refer to your computer
and device documenta-
tion for instructions on
installing devices inside
your computer.
Internal SCSI Device Mounted in
Drive Bay Inside Your Computer
If it is difficult to reach the back of your internal SCSI
devices when they are mounted in a drive bay, you can connect the
internal SCSI devices to the SCSI cable and power supply (Steps 5-7
below) before mounting each device inside your computer.
NOTE

Connect one end of the internal SCSI cable to the
SCSI Card 2940UW Pro’s internal SCSI connector.
Each cable included in this package allows you to connect up to
two internal SCSI devices. To connect more than two internal
SCSI devices to each internal connector on the SCSI Card
2940UW Pro,you will need an internal SCSI cable with enough
connectors to accommodate all of your devices. See the SCSI
Card 2940UW Pro User’s Reference for additional information
on connecting your SCSI devices and ordering cables.

Connect the other end of the cable to the last internal device
(this device must be terminated;
see Step 2 above).
Connect the remaining connectors
on the cable to any remaining inter-
nal devices (these devices must not
be terminated; see Step 2 above).

Do not connect SCSI devices to all three connectors of a
SCSI Card 2940UW Pro host adapter.

Power Input Connector on
the Back of the Drive
Power Cable (From the Power
Supply Inside the Computer)
Connect a power cable from your computer’s power supply to
the power input connector on each SCSI device.
Replace your computer cover.
If you are installing external SCSI devices,continue with the
next section; otherwise, skip to Installing the SCSI Card
2940UW Pro Software.
STEP 7
STEP 8
Verify that each external SCSI device you are installing has a
unique SCSI ID from 0 to 6 (0 to 6 and 8 to 15 for“Wide”SCSI
devices). Refer to the device’s documentation to determine the
SCSI ID setting.
If any two devices (external or internal) you are connecting to
the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro share the same SCSI ID, change the
SCSI ID on one device. The SCSI Card 2940UW
Pro is preset to SCSI ID 7 and should not be
changed.
For most external SCSI devices, the
SCSI ID usually is set with a
switch on the back of the
device. See the SCSI Card
2940UW Pro User’s Reference
for additional information on
SCSI IDs.

68-pin External SCSI Cable
50-pin External SCSI Cable
68-pin to 50-pin Adapter
(Adaptec Part # ACK-68P-50P-E)
Connect one end of the external SCSI cable to the SCSI Card
2940UW Pro’s external SCSI connector. Push the connectors
together until they lock in place.
For each external SCSI device you install, you need a high-
quality external SCSI cable. If you need to connect an
external SCSI device with a 50-pin cable, then you also need a
68-pin to 50-pin external converter that actively terminates the
high byte. This converter is available through Adaptec
(Part # ACK-68P-50P-E). See the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro User’s
Reference for additional information on connecting your SCSI
devices and ordering cables and adapters.
STEP 2
Connect the other end of the cable to a SCSI connector on the
back of the external SCSI device.If you are installing only one
external device, terminate the device and skip to Step 5.
Termination usually is controlled by installing or removing a
SCSI terminator. On some devices,
you use a switch or button on
the back of the device. Refer
to the device’s documenta-
tion to determine how to
enable or disable termina-
tion. See the SCSI Card
2940UW Pro User’s
Reference for additional
information on
termination.

STEP 5
To install the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro software (software driver),
go to the section below for the operating system (for example,
Windows®95) installed on your computer.If the operating sys-
tem is not yet installed,install it now. Refer to your operating
system documentation for instructions.
INSTALLING THE SCSI CARD 2940UW PRO
SOFTWARE
If you have installed a new SCSI hard drive in a computer
running Windows or DOS, you will need to partition and format the
drive with the DOS ffddiisskkand ffoorrmmaattcommands before it can be used.
Refer to yourWindows and DOS documentation for instructions.
NOTE
A narrow external device at the end of the chain may cause
a termination problem if a 68-pin to 50-pin adapter is not used.
