3. Power down the host system.

4. Referring to your computer owner‘s manual, open

the case to gain access to the motherboard and ex-
pansion slots.

Step 2. Setting the SCSI Device ID

Each SCSI device must be assigned a unique SCSI ID

ranging from 0 through 7. Most SCSI peripheral devic-

es are shipped with a pre-assigned SCSI ID. Your 
Logic adapter is set to SCSI ID 7 by default.

Note: The SCSI   for your boot drive must be lower than

other drives. BIOS scans from ID 0 

 the boot drive.

If needed, change the SCSI ID for the peripheral devic-
es as recommended in the owner’s manual. To change

the adapter’s SCSI ID, use the 

Host Adapter SCSZ ID 

op-

tion on the AutoSCSI Configuration Menu (Step 7).

Step 3. Terminating SCSI Devices

The first and last SCSI devices connected together on a
SCSI bus must have terminators installed or enabled.
Terminators, which can be connected to either SCSI de-
vices or SCSI cables, are required for reliable operation
of the SCSI bus. If more than two SCSI devices are con-
nected in a SCSI daisy chain, you must remove the ter-
minators on the middle device(s).
If the BT-747C is not being installed at either end of the
SCSI bus, disable its terminators by using the 

Adapter

SCSI Terminators ON 

option on the AutoSCSI Configu-

ration Menu (see Step 7).

Step 4. Installing and Cabling the Adapter

Before installing the adapter, you must check that the

jumper cap is installed on 

 This jumper enables

communication with the floppy drive.

1.

2.

Remove the mounting screw and the existing

bracket from the rear panel behind the 32-bit slot

where you want to install the BT-747C.

Press the BT-747C downward into the selected 

bit slot, align the mounting bracket, and reinstall

the mounting screw. Make sure that the board is

properly seated in the slot.

7.

Connect the 50-pin SCSI cable to the adapter’s sin-

gle-ended SCSI connector, J3, attaching the other
end to the SCSI device connector.

If connecting to a floppy drive, insert the 34-pin

floppy cable from the floppy drive into the floppy

connector 

 (BT-747C only).

Insert the optional four-pin header connector for

the drive activity LED on the front panel of the host

to connector   on the BT-747C. This connector may

be plugged into   either way.

Verify that all connections are secure.

Reattach and close the cover of the host computer

as described in the system owner’s manual.

Step 5. Updating System CMOS

1.

Once hardware installation is complete and the host

computer is reassembled, power up the system.

2. Run SETUP and configure the host CMOS RAM op-

tions. Set the drive type option for the SCSI drive to

No Hard Drive Installed.

3. Reset the system to activate your SETUP changes.
