Installing a SCSI Interface Board (SCSI Interface Users Only)
Unless your computer already has a SCSI board installed, you
need to install a SCSI board and SCSI software before installing
the scanner driver and software applications.
If you have a Macintosh that has a SCSI interface or if you already
have a SCSI board installed in your PC or Macintosh, go to the
next section.
Note:
For additional information, see the installation guide that comes with
your SCSI board.
1. Turn off the computer and any peripheral devices. Unplug
any power cords, then disconnect all cables from the back
panel of your computer.
2. Remove the cover from your computer.
Caution:
w
Static electricity can damage electronic components.
Discharge static electricity by touching the metal frame of
your computer before handling the interface board or any of
the computer’s circuit boards.
3. Insert the interface board into an appropriate expansion slot,
then secure it with the retaining screw.
4. Replace the computer cover and reconnect all cables.
