Adaptec AVA-1505A Installing the card
2. Follow your ISA (or EISA) personal computer's instruction manual to remove the system cover and expose the expansion slots and external access covers. 3. Locate a free 16-bit slot. The Adaptec card can be installed in either an ISA (black) or EISA (usually brown) slot. PCI slots (white) are not compatible with the card. 4. Remove the corresponding expansion board key for the 16-bit slot you selected. The key is a piece of sheet metal @ 3" x ½" in size that covers the opening needed by the external SCSI connector on the AVA-1505A. Discard the key, but save its retention screw. 5. To avoid generating static sparks, touch a bare metal portion of the computer chassis before removing the plastic from the Adaptec card. 6. Align and insert the silver end of the ISA I/O bus connector on the bottom of the AVA-1505A into the chosen slot 7. With a slimline computer chassis, the card will fit horizontally. If you have a slimline, brace your thumbs on the other side of the lot before inserting the card for leverage. Gently slide the card into the slot. 8. When the card is completely snug in the slot, replace the retainer screw. Attaching cables
2. Attach the changer to the computer with the gray data cable. Use extreme care when attaching the external SCSI connector to the back of your computer as the pins are small, delicate and easily bent. It is best to have the back of the computer facing you in good light so that the cable is not attached crooked. Both top and bottom clips must be secure. 3. Connect the power cable to the changer and plug it into the power strip or outlet. Use of a surge protector is strongly recommended for long system life. 4. Turn the changer power on. 5. Plug in the computer and monitor. SCSISelect Utility
1. Insert the SCSISelect diskette into the floppy drive. 2. Turn on the computer 3. When the SCSISelect menu appears use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the item you want to change and press <Enter>. 4. A pop-up menu will display variables from which you may choose. After you select the correct settings, press <Enter>. It may be necessary to choose the Advanced Configuration option and disable the Plu-and-Play mode of the AVA-1505A card. 5. Press <Esc>, and save any changes you have made. Select Yes to exit the utility, and follow the screen prompts to reboot the computer. Installing the Windows 95 Software Driver
