Intrusion Monitor Your PC Workstation is equipped with an intrusion monitor, which is
located on the front of the PC Workstation, behind the Hardware
Control Panel. It is designed to detect whether your PC Workstation
has been opened since the last time it was used:
•If your PC Workstation has been opened, it is assumed that the
system configuration has changed and a full start-up check is carried
out.
•If your PC Workstation has not been opened, it is assumed that the
system configuration has not changed and a reduced start-up check
is carried out.

Connecting Devices
If you add an IDE Zip drive, hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, CD-RW
drive, or tape drive, you need to connect it to power and data cables.
The data cables and connectors provided are shown below:
Which Data
Connectors to Use
Your PC Workstation has the following cables and connectors which
may be used by mass storage devices:
•A cable for UltraWide 16-bit SCSI with five connectors.
•A cable for UltraNarrow 8-bit SCSI with two connectors.
•A flexible disk drive cable with a single connector. This supports a
flexible disk drive (the connector is attached to the flexible disk
drive supplied).
•An Ultra ATA/33 IDE cable that supports two fast IDE devices. If
you install a CD-ROM drive, CD-RW drive, a Zip drive, or a third hard
disk drive, connect it to this cable.

Which Power
Connectors to Use
There are two different types of power connectors—these are shown
below.
Some of the power connectors will already be connected to devices. If
you install a device that requires a different connector, the connector
converter should be supplied with the device.
Installing a Hard
Disk Drive
This PC Workstation has an integrated Ultra SCSI controller, an Ultra
SCSI interface board and an integrated Ultra ATA-33 IDE controller.
•The Ultra ATA-33 IDE controller, on the PCI bus, supports up to two
fast (33 MB per second) IDE devices.
•The Ultra wide 16-bit SCSI controller is dedicated to hard disk
drives and supports up to five internal SCSI devices.
•The Ultra SCSI 16-bit interface board, installed in a PCI slot,
supports up to 13 external 16-bit SCSI devices and automatically
switches to non-Ultra or standard mode (data transfer rate of 20 MB
per second). The Ultra 8-bit internal connector supports up to two
internal peripherals at up to 20 MB per second.

Installing Mass Storage Devices
Disk Striping To achieve top performance through disk striping, a RAIDport™is
provided on the system board aligned with PCI socket 3.
When the Adaptec®RAIDport adapter is installed in the PCI socket
and RAIDport, the adapter sets up and accelerates disk striping on
hard disks connected to the internal UltraWide 16-bit SCSI controller.
The Adaptec®RAIDport adapter should be used with one or two
stripped hard disks.
NOTE Disk striping is supported only in Windows NT 4.0.
The Adaptec CI/O Array Manager software can be used to manage and
view the performance of the adapter.
Although the RAIDport adapter is normally set up to maximize disk
performance (“RAID 0” configuration), it can instead be configured to
provide mirroring for extra data security (“RAID 1” configuration).
Before Installing an
IDE Hard Disk
Refer to the drive’s installation guide to see if you must set jumpers or
if there is a special installation procedure to follow.
Before Installing a
SCSI Hard Disk
If you are installing an additional SCSI drive, you should assign an
unused SCSI address to this accessory. SCSI addresses range from 0 to
7 for Ultra narrow 8-bit SCSI and from 0 to 15 for Ultra wide 16-bit SCSI.
SCSI address 0 is used by the first SCSI hard disk drive and SCSI
address 7 is reserved for the integrated SCSI controller (the default for
narrow and wide SCSI devices).
NOTE You do not need to select a SCSI address for Plug and Play SCSI hard
disks (SCSI hard disks that support the SCAM protocol). SCAM is
disabled if the RAIDport adapter is installed.
You should assign an unused SCSI address to the second SCSI hard
disk drive (for example, SCSI address 1).
The SCSI address is usually configured with jumpers on the SCSI hard
disk drive. Refer to the installation guide supplied with the drive for
information on selecting a SCSI address.
Some internal SCSI disk drives may have termination resistors that
must be removed or disabled before installation in your computer.
Refer to the drive’s installation guide for more details and to see if
there is a special installation procedure to follow.
