Copy 1he flies from the ASW-1210 Program diskette to
1he root directory of drive C using 1he DOS COPY
command. In order for the ASPI DOS Manager flies to
be loaded whenever the system is booted, the
CONFIG.SYS file must contain the following DEVICE=
commands:
DEVICE = ASPI2DOS.SYS/Z
DEVICE = ASPIDISK.SYS
Using any ASCII file editor, add the individual device
driver commands to an existing CONFIG.SYS file, or
follow1he Instructions in the DOS Operations Refer-
ence Manual to create a new CONFIG.SYS file.
FAILURE TO LOAD ALL THE DEVICE DRIVERS IN THE
CORRECT ORDER CAUSES THE PROGRAM TO NOT BE
INSTALLED. 1hefollowing command line options may
be added to 1he device drivers in 1he CONFIG.SYS file.
(Refer to the User's Manual for details.)
DEVICE = ASPl2DOS.SYS(/Z) CID) (/P<portaddress) C/L)
(/X<speed>) (/A<DMA channel>)(/H<SCSI ID>)
(/Q<interruptchannel>).
Ifa hard disk is attached to the AHA-1510,
ASPIDISK.SYS must be used to access 1he disk and
AFDISK must be used to format and partition SCSI
disks.
When starting AFDISK program, it must be run from the
root directory of drive C or the AFDISK dl~ctory if an
AFDISK directory was created. When r;bdy, type:
AFDISK (at the DOS prompt)
and press ENTER. The AFDISK utility is menu driven.
Follow the directions on the screen to partition and
format 1he selected SCSI devices. The AFDISK utility
also includes an on-line HELP file which is accessed by
pressing the Fl key. The AFDISK may be exited at any
time without executing by pressing the ESC key.
When the SCSI device(s) are successfully partitioned
and formatted, reboot the system. This saves any
changes made and allows use of the newly installed
disk(s) or partltlons(s).

F.C.C. CERTIFICATION
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency, and if not
installed and used properly. that is, In strict accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. may cause interference to radio and

withthelimitsfora Class Bcomputing device In accordance with the
specifications in 'Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules', which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against such Inter-
ference in a residential installation. However. there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur In a particular installation. If this
equipmentdoescauseinterference to radioortelevisionreception,
which can bedetermined by turning the equipment off and on. the
user is encouraged to try to correct the Interference by one ormore
of the following measures:
Reorient receiving antenna.
Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
Move the computer away from the receiver.
Plug the computer into a differentoutlet so that computer and
receiver are on different branch circuits.

Installation Guide

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
The Adaptec AHA-1510 AHo-SCSI host adapter has
been designed to operate as shipped in the
majority of AT class computers. The host adapter's
factory default jumpersettings should remain in
their original positions. The AHA-1510 Is shipped with
the following factory default settings:
*SCSI Disconnection
*SCSI Address
*SCSI Parity
Terminators
Terminator Power
*Synchronous Negot.
Interrupt Channel
*AT Port Address
*Data Transfer Mode

*These values are set by the software driver, the
ASW-1210 (ASPl2DOS.SYS). The /Z option sets these
default values. See SOFlWARE INSTALLATION for
more information.
To Perform Installation:
TURN OFF POWER TO THE SYSTEM AND EXTERNAL
EQUIPMENT.
Remove the cover of your AT personal computer
that exposes the AT bus slots on the motherboard.
Locate an unused AT expansion slot in your AT
system. AT type slots can be recognized by the
fact that they have 2 physical edge connectors,
one 62-pin and the other 36-pin, in line with one
another.
Remove the corresponding system expansion slot
cover by turning the screw that secures it from the
top counterclockwise.
Align the AT 1/0 Bus Connector on the bottom of
the AHA-1510 into this AT slot. Use the screw from
the corresponding expansion slot cover to secure
the AHA-151 O's bracket to your AT system frame.
2
Attach the SCSI Bus to the host adapter and the
peripherals, using either the internal or external
connector, makingsure that pin l orientation is
maintained throughout the bus.
The SCSI bus mustalso be terminated correctly to
ensure proper operation. The first and last physical
SCSI devices on the SCSI cable must have termina-
tors installed. All other SCSI devices must have
terminators removed.
The SCSI factory-installed terminators on the AHA-
1510 should be removed if, and only if, you attach
SCSI devices to both an internal and external
cable, since the internal and external SCSI con-
nectors are the same SCSI bus.
Reassemble your PC system in the reverse order.
Jumper Configuration Reference
One set of jumpers is located on the board to
configure user-selectable options. Jumpers
installed at the factory are shown as 'D .· Those
not installed are shown as '8 .' Itshould not be
necessary to change the jumpersettings.

DEFAULT SETTINGS AND REFERENCE DIAGRAM
• Pin pairs 12, 11, 10, and 19 (as marked on your host
adapter board) representyour choices for
Interrupt Channel Selection. One and only one
of these pairs must be selected for proper
orientation of the software. The factory default is
Interrupt Channel 11 (or 11). Therefore, a jumper
is installed at this pin pair. If this hardware jumper
setting is changed, the corresponding '/Q'
option must be set when installing the ASW- 1210
(see SOFTWARE INSTALLATION).
• Pin pair AL (marked on your host adapter board)
represents your choice for Port Address. The
default is no jumper installed and a primary port
address of 340H. When you install a jumper at
this pin pair, you have selected the alternate
port address of 140H. If this hardware jumper
setting is changed, the corresponding "/P"
option must be set when installing the ASW- 121 o
(see SOFTWARE INSTALLATION).
