pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

ference by one or more of the following measures:

• Move the equipment away from the receiver
• Plug the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
powered
• If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician
for additional suggestions
CAUTION: Only equipment certified to comply with Class B (computer input/output devices,
terminals, printers, etc.) should be attached to this equipment, and must have shielded interface
cables.
Finally, any changes or modifications to the equipment by the user not expressly approved by the
grantee or manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate such equipment.
Each host adapter is equipped with an FCC compliance label which shows only the FCC identifi-
cation number. The full text of the associated label follows:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Overview
This document provides information on how to install and config-
ure the Adaptec AMM-1525M, AMM-1510M, and AMM-525M SCSI
Audio Host Adapters and Sound Cards.
Each adapter provides superior audio performance for your multi-
media devices. Through the input and output jacks, a variety of
audio equipment can be connected.
In addition, the AMM-1525M allows you to connect up to seven
internal SCSI devices, and up to two IDE devices (IDE hard disk
and/or ATAPI CD-ROM drive); the AMM-1510M allows you to con-
nect up to seven internal SCSI devices; and the AMM-525M allows
you to connect up to two IDE devices.
Collectively, all three boards are referred to in this document as the
AMM-1525M/1510M/525M; the two adapters that provide full SCSI
host adapter functionality are referred to as the AMM-1525M/
1510M; and the two adapters that provide IDE support are referred
to as the AMM-1525M/525M.
System Requirements
The following minimum requirements are needed to install the
AMM-1525M/1510M/525M:
■An 80386SX 25 megahertz (MHz) computer or higher
■An available 16-bit expansion bus slot
The following are additional requirements needed to run the
Windows version of the Adaptec Installation Manager:

Adaptec Software
The AMM-1525M/1510M/525M kit is shipped with the Adaptec
Installation Manager software utility. The Installation Manager
allows you to easily run and install all of the Adaptec Software
needed to provide your host adapter with audio and SCSI capabili-
ties. Refer to Running the Adaptec Installation Manager on page 2-24
and the Installation Manager User’s Guide for more information.
Types of Cables Required
Before you actually install the host adapter, be sure you have the cor-
rect cables for your particular installation. The type of cables
required depends on the type of devices you plan to connect to the
host adapter: either internal SCSI or IDE devices.
Type of Connector
