VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI Card VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 (SCSI BIOS) SCSI BIOS and Drivers Aside from the system BIOS, the Flash memory chip on the motherboard also contains the SCSI BIOS. This SCSI BIOS works in conjunction with the optional ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI controller card to provide a complete PCI Fast SCSI-2 interface. All SCSI devices you install to your system require driver software to function. The SCSI BIOS directly supports SCSI hard disks under the DOS, Windows and OS/2 environments.
VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI Card VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 (Setup) The ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI Interface Card Your motherboard may have come with an optional SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) controller card, the PCI-SC200. The card is also available separately. This card works with the SCSI BIOS on the motherboard. Together, they provide a complete PCI Fast SCSI-2 interface. With the card installed in your system you can connect SCSI devices installed in your system case to the internal connector on the card.
VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI Card VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 (Jumpers) Setting the INT Assignment You must use PCI INT A setting in order to properly assign the card's interrupt. On the ASUS PCI-SC200, you assign the INT by setting jumper JP1 or JP2. The default setting for the card already is INT A, so you do not need to change the setting to use the ASUS PCI-SC200 with this motherboard.
VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI Card VI. ASUS PCI-SC200 (SCSI ID Numbers) Decide whether or not you need to terminate the ASUS PCI-SC200 based on its position in the SCSI chain. Only the devices at each end of the chain need to be terminated. If you have only internal or only external devices connected to the ASUS PCI-SC200, then you must terminate the ASUS PCI-SC200. If you have both internal and external devices connected, you must not terminate the card. See the following example which illustrates this concept.
