Controller information
The examples in this guide use an Adaptec controller. If you have a chipset embedded into your mother-
board, plug the cable into the port on the motherboard instead of the controller.
If you are purchasing an add-on controller card, you will need to install the controller in one of the empty
slots in your computer. Remove the screw holding the metal plate in place and insert the controller into
the appropriate PCI, EISA or ISA slot on the motherboard, making sure the metal plate from the con-
troller fits into the grooves on the computer frame. Replace the screw and connect the SCSI cables to
the controller and then the hard drive. If you have any questions, refer to the installation manual
enclosed with your controller.
