PCMCIA-to-SCSI Host Adapter

AAAA

Introduction

This document explains how to install and use Adaptec’s APA™-1460

SlimSCSI®PCMCIA-to-SCSI adapters. The SlimSCSI adapters allow

you to easily connect most SCSI devices to portable PCs using any of

several popular operating systems. The SlimSCSI adapters include

the following features:

■High-speed operation

■Ability to connect up to seven SCSI devices

■A standard SCSI connector, which can be used with almost any

SCSI-compatible device

The following software is included with each SlimSCSI adapter:

■CardWizard Pro (for Windows 3.1) and CardWizard Pro for

Windows 95 software to enable Plug and Play functionality and to

resolve resource conflicts

■Adaptec EZ-SCSI®4.0 software, providing SlimSCSI adapter sup-

port for most SCSI devices running under Windows®3.1,

Windows®95, and Windows NT™. Adaptec EZ-SCSI includes a

photo CD viewer, an audio CD player, a tape backup utility, an

online tutorial, and other programs.

■Windows NT/OS2 Driver diskette

Note: This document assumes that your Windows 3.1,

Windows 95, or Windows NT PC has a CD-ROM drive. You

will need the CD-ROM drive to install Adaptec EZ-SCSI, and

you may need it to install the operating system software as

well. If you do not have a CD-ROM drive, you can get

Adaptec EZ-SCSI on diskettes by sending the mail-in coupon

included with your SlimSCSI adapter.

Where Do I Start?

■If your PC uses Windows 3.1, you must install CardWizard Pro

software before you install the SlimSCSI adapter. Turn to Installing

Installing

CardWizard Pro

If your portable PC runs under Windows 3.1, you must install

the CardWizard Pro software before you install the SlimSCSI

adapter and Adaptec EZ-SCSI! CardWizard Pro, from

SystemSoft, enables your PC to recognize the PCMCIA

slot(s) and to automatically allocate system resources to

the SlimSCSI adapter and other PC cards. CardWizard

Pro gives your PC Plug and Play capability in both DOS

and Windows 3.1.

Follow these steps to install CardWizard Pro:

1Remove any PC cards that are currently installed in

PCMCIA slots on your portable PC.

2Insert the CardWizard Pro diskette in your PC’s

floppy disk drive.

3Start Windows, if it is not already running.

4Select Run from the Program Manager File menu.

5Type a:\setup (or b:\setup if you are using the B

drive), and click OK.

6Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Refer to the CardWizard Pro online Help if you

encounter any problems during installation.

7When you see a message asking if you want to restart

your PC now, click on Restart Now and wait until

Windows restarts.

When Windows restarts, you will see a message

warning you that the APA-1460 SlimSCSI adapter is

not configured.

8Click OK. The main CardWizard screen appears, with

additional warning text. These messages are normal.

CardWizard will recognize the SlimSCSI adapter later

after you have installed Adaptec EZ-SCSI.

9Exit from CardWizard and continue with Installing the

SlimSCSI Adapter on page 3.

CardWizard Pro System Beeps

When CardWizard Pro is installed, the PC sounds the fol-

lowing beep codes when you insert or remove a

PCMCIA card:

■Medium tone followed by high tone—The card is recog-

nized and successfully configured.

■Single low tone—The card is recognized but is not suc-

cessfully configured. You may need to change your

PC and/or CardWizard Pro configuration.

■High tone followed by a medium tone— A card has been

removed.

Installing the

SlimSCSI Adapter

Follow these steps to physically install the SlimSCSI

adapter and connect your SCSI devices to it.

1Connect the SlimSCSI connector to the SlimSCSI

adapter, as shown below:

Note: Your adapter cable may look different

from the one shown in the illustrations.

2Insert the SlimSCSI adapter in a PCMCIA Type II,

PCMCIA Type III, or Toshiba Type IV slot on your

portable PC.

3Plug the connector on the other end of the SlimSCSI

cable into a SCSI device, as shown below:

4To connect other external SCSI devices, obtain addi-

tional external cables and daisy-chain each device to

the previous device, as shown below:

Daisy-chaining means that a cable runs from the

SlimSCSI adapter to a SCSI connector on the first

SCSI device; a second cable connects the first SCSI

device to the next SCSI device, and so on. You can

daisy-chain up to seven external SCSI devices.

5Terminate the last (or only) SCSI device connected to

the SlimSCSI adapter.

Most SCSI devices are terminated with a jumper or

switch near the SCSI connector. On some SCSI

devices, you must physically remove or install termi-

nator resistor modules. See the device documentation

for more information.

Note: The SlimSCSI adapter is actively termi-

nated by default, and its termination cannot be

changed.

6Be sure that at least one of the external SCSI devices

provides termination power (TERMPOWER) to the

SCSI bus or that the last device on the bus supplies

termination power to itself.

The SlimSCSI adapter does not provide termination

power, because it would need to draw this power

from the portable PC’s battery. The SCSI devices will

not operate correctly unless at least one device pro-

vides termination power.

7Be sure that each SCSI device has a unique SCSI ID,

rangingfrom 0 to 6. (The SlimSCSI adapter uses SCSI

ID 7.)

SCSI IDs on most SCSI devices are set with jumpers

or switches. See the device documentation for more

information.

Your SlimSCSI adapter and SCSI devices are now

installed. Next, you need to install the drivers and other

software. To do this, continue with the following section,
