with Termpower

Introduction and System Requirements

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.

Macintosh®Installation and Usage (continued)

Windows®98 Installation and Usage

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:

Click on NEXT.

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.
