Static Precautions
Static electricity can be a serious danger to the electronic components on this board. To avoid
damage caused by electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
ü Don’t remove the board from its anti-static packaging until you are ready to install it into
a computer case. Also, handle add-in cards and modules by the edges or mounting
bracket.
ü Before you handle the board in any way, touch a grounded, anti-static surface, such as an
unpainted portion of the system chassis, for a few seconds to discharge any built-up static
electricity.
Before plugging the DC-395 series adapter into your system, make sure all jumpers on the
card are correctly set according to the instructions outlined in section 2.2. Also take care that
the SCSI ID number (0-6 for DC-395U; 0-15 for DC-395UW/F) of each SCSI device is set
properly for the host adapter (Section 2.3).
The maximum devices that can be installed on each model are show below:
Model # Max. Devices Number
DC-395U 7
DC-395UW/F 15 *
• For DC-395U, up to seven 8-bit SCSI single ended (SE) devices can be connected.
• For DC-395UW/F, up to fifteen 16-bit and/or 8-bit SCSI single ended (SE) devices can
be connected. Up to seven of these can be 8-bit. And only two of the three SCSI
connectors, either Internal or External, can be used to connect SCSI devices at any given
time.
Correct termination and cable connections are also necessary for SCSI adapters to function
properly (Section 2.4 and 2.5).
