Installing the SCSI Adapter
Introduction This chapter describes how to install and connect the
AHA-1742A SCSI adapter.
About the
AHA-1742A
SCSI Adapter
The AHA-1742A SCSI adapter provides a diskette drive
controller and it allows you to connect up to seven SCSI devices,
either internal or external, to the system.
In This Chapter This chapter contains the following sections:
• Preparing to Install the SCSI Adapter
• Disabling the Floppy Controller
• Removing the Onboard SCSI Terminators
• Installing the SCSI Adapter
• Connecting External SCSI Devices
Installing the SCSI Adapter 1–1
Preparing to Install the SCSI Adapter
Preparing to Install the SCSI Adapter
Before You
Begin Before you install the AHA-1742A SCSI adapter, you must
determine if it is the first or the second SCSI adapter in the
system. If it is the second SCSI adapter in the system, you must
disable the floppy disk controller. You must also decide whether
you are using the SCSI adapter to connect internal or external
SCSI devices to the system. Table 1–1 describes the actions you
should take.
Table 1–1 Preinstallation Procedure
Adapter Internal Devices External Devices
First No action required. If you are ready to connect the external SCSI
devices immediately after installing the SCSI
adapter, remove the terminators from the SCSI
adapter. See the section entitled Removing the
Onboard SCSI Terminators for information on
removing the terminators.
Second No internal device
connections permitted. If you are connecting external devices, do the
following:
1. Disable the floppy controller on the SCSI
adapter. See the section entitled Disabling
the Floppy Controller for information on
disabling the floppy controller.
2. If you are ready to connect the external SCSI
devices immediately after installing the
SCSI adapter, remove the terminators from
the SCSI adapter. See the section entitled
Removing the Onboard SCSI Terminators for
information on removing the terminators.

Disabling the Floppy Controller
Disabling the Floppy Controller
Disabling
the Floppy
Controller
If you are installing a second SCSI adapter in the system, you
must disable the floppy disk controller on the second SCSI
adapter. To disable the floppy controller, remove the jumper from
pin number 1 of J6 on the SCSI adapter. Figure 1–1 shows the
default position of the jumper.

Terminators
If you want to connect external SCSI devices to the system unit,
you must remove the three onboard SCSI terminators from
the SCSI adapter. Figure 1–2 shows how to remove the SCSI
terminators (
