Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Components

®

USB SCSI
Adapter. Now, you can easily add up to seven SCSI devices on
your Windows®98 PC or Mac®through a 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 a hub)

• Windows®98, Windows®98 SE, or Windows®2000

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, such as a PowerMac or
G3, 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 an optional power supply
adapter, available for purchase from Belkin (Part# F5U115xPWR
can be used).

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:

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.

3. Click “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, contact
Belkin to purchase the optional AC Adapter
(part# F5U115xPWR).

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 restart your computer
in order to recover from this error.

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.
