Hardware Installation Adaptec AHA™-1510A AT®-to-SCSI host adapters are designed to operate as shipped in most ATclass computers.
Jumper Configuration Reference One jumper block on the host adapter is used to configure user-selectable options. In the following diagram, the black bar covering both pins represents an installed jumper. In most cases, you will not need to change these settings.
Setting Termination J9 SCSI EXTERNAL CONNECTOR AIC-6360 TERMINATORS SCSI INTERNAL CONNECTOR The SCSI bus must be terminated correctly to ensure proper operation of the AHA-1510A host adapter. Terminators must be installed in the first and last physical devices on the SCSI cable and removed from all other SCSI devices.
Booting the Computer The AHA-1510A does not provide booting capability. If you want to boot from a SCSI drive installed on the host adapter, you can install an AHA-1520A or AHA-1522A. Both of these host adapter models provide booting capability. Software Installation DOS/Windows Platforms If you have purchased Adaptec EZ-SCSI, insert the EZ-SCSI diskette in a floppy diskette drive, change to the drive letter of that drive (either A or B) and enter the command install.
To start afdisk, change to the directory where it is installed and enter afdisk at the DOS prompt. Follow the directions on the screen to partition and format the selected SCSI devices, including removable media. Press F1 while afdisk is running to access on-line help. You can exit afdisk at any time without partitioning or formatting by pressing Esc. When the SCSI device(s) are successfully partitioned and formatted, reboot the system.
