USB SCSI Adapter
with Termpower

Introduction and System Requirements
1
Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Components®USB-SCSI
Adapter. Now, you can easily add up to 7 SCSI devices on
your Windows®98 PC, or Mac™through USB port! No more
opening your computer case, no more IRQ conflicts or driver
problems! Simply plug it in!
Your PC must have:
• 486 processor or faster
• 16MB memory or more
• A free USB port (on the computer
or at a hub)
• Windows®98 or Windows®98 SE
Your Macintosh®must have:
• OS 8.6 or higher
• A free USB port (on the computer or at a hub)
Notes:
1. It is NOT recommended that you plug in the
USB-SCSI adapter to the USB ports on the
iMac™keyboard. The keyboard does not supply
enough power, and is a low-speed device.
2. If you own a non-iMac™machine and wish to add
USB ports, please obtain a Belkin USB BusPort™
for Mac®(model # F5U005-Mac®)
Your SCSI device must be able to supply termination power
to the USB SCSI Adapter. Some devices such as Iomega
Zip®Drives and some brands of scanners will not be able to
provide the required +5V termination power. In such an
event, a SCSI device that can provide termination power
must be connected to the device chain or you can use the
power supply adapter supplied with the package.
If you are going to plug the USB-SCSI Adapter into a USB
Hub, make sure that it is a self-powered hub.
(A self-powered hub has its own power supply.)

Macintosh®Installation and Usage

MACINTOSH®INSTALLATION:
1. Insert the Belkin USB to SCSI Adapter with Termpower CD
into your CD-ROM drive. Double-click on the CD icon.
You will see two folders: MAC®Driver and PC Driver.
Double click on the "MAC®Driver" folder. Now, you will
see two files named:
"Belkin USB-SCSI"
"Belkin USB-SCSI SIM"
2. Double click on your "Hard Drive" icon and look for
"System Folder". Double click on "System Folder".
3. In "System Folder", look for another folder called
"Extensions". Once you have located the "Extensions"
folder, you will need to select the two files in the Belkin
USB to SCSI CD (see #1 above), and drag the two files
onto the "Extensions" folder. You will see your system
copying both files over.
USAGE:
1. When copying is finished connect your SCSI device or
device chain to the USB SCSI Adapter. See appendices for
adapters and cables you may need. Make sure that the
devices are powered up.
Plug in the USB SCSI Adapter to a free USB port on your
computer, or USB Hub. Restart your computer. To do this
click on "Special" at the top menu bar, and choose "Restart".
2. After restart, icons of your SCSI device(s) should appear
on your desktop.

Note: If you unplug the USB SCSI Adapter from the
computer, or the device(s) from the SCSI chain,
the operating system may not recognize this and
might think that the device(s) are still connected. In
the event that the device(s) and/or the USB-SCSI
Adapter is unplugged from the computer, and an
application tries to access the device(s), your
computer will hang. You must cycle power in order
to recover your system.
Hence, to disconnect a device from the SCSI chain,
always drag its icon to the TRASH first, then
disconnect the USB SCSI Adapter or devices.

WINDOWS®98 INSTALLATION:
1. Connect your SCSI device or device chain to the
USB SCSI Adapter. See appendices for adapters and
cables you may need. Make sure that the device(s) are
powered up.
2. Plug in the USB SCSI Adapter to a free USB port on
your computer, or USB Hub. A "New Hardware
Found…" dialog box will appear:

Note: Even if the Adapter is plugged into your USB
port (or Hub), it must first be plugged into a SCSI
device that provides termination power, before
Windows®will detect and enumerate the
Adapter, and the SCSI device(s). If your SCSI
device(s) does not provide termination power,
make sure the power supply adapter that came
with the package is connected.

Troubleshooting
The SCSI device(s) connected to the USB-SCSI Adapter is
not detected by my computer.
• Make sure the SCSI device(s) are powered up and at
least one device provides termination power necessary
for the Adapter’s operation. If you are just connecting
one device and that device does not have termination
power, make sure the power supply adapter provided
with the package is connected. The SCSI device(s) must
be powered up AND connected to the Adapter prior to
plugging into the USB port.
• If you are using a USB Hub or composite device that
has a built-in hub, make sure that the device is
self-powered, providing the full 500mA of current
required by the Adapter.
• After shutting down your computer, try unplugging then
plugging in the Adapter from the USB port.
• Try unplugging the Adapter, turn the power off and back
on of the SCSI device(s), then plugging the Adapter back
into the USB port.
• Restart your computer with the Adapter connect to the
USB port, and all the SCSI device(s) powered up.
