Step 7

If required, you can connect the HDD-front-LEDs of the PCI computer system to the LED

connectors of the ICP Controller.

Step 8

Before the PCI

computer system is switched on, you should check the following points over

again:

 Is the SIMM plugged firmly into the SIMM socket ?

 Is the ICP Controller plugged firmly into one of the PCI bus-master slots ?

 Are the SCSI-IDs set correctly ?

(with no other device currently set to ID 7 ?)

 Are the SCSI-bus terminators plugged/set correctly ?

(with currently terminated GDT SCSI channels ?)

 Are the SCSI flat ribbon cables connected correctly ?

 Are all SCSI devices installed properly and connected to the power supply of the PCI

computer system ?

Step 9

After having checked all the points in "Step 8", reconnect the PCI computer system to the

power supply. Do not close the computer case yet.

Before we put the ICP Controller into operation for the first time, we would like to spend a

few words on the PCI 2.x compatibility requirements a PCI computer system (especially the

motherboard and the motherboard's BIOS) should meet.

pre-condition

for a flawless installation of PCI bus-master expansion cards (the ICP Con-

trollers belong to this group of expansion cards) in a PCI motherboard is

a 100% PCI 2.x

compatible System-BIOS

We have observed more than once that a motherboard declared fully PCI 2.x compatible

was equipped with a System-BIOS (located in an EPROM or FLASH-RAM) which was not

PCI 2.x compatible at all. To make up for this, many manufacturers of PCI motherboards or

PCI computer systems offer their customers a Website (and/or a BBS) from where the latest

PCI-system-BIOS version can be downloaded.

As PCI is a rapidly growing market and more and more bus-master expansion cards (high

performance disk and LAN controllers) are becoming available, we have no doubt that such

problems will be resolved very quickly by the respective system-BIOS manufacturer.

The System is fully PCI compatible.

If your PCI motherboard/computer is 100% PCI compatible, its PCI system-BIOS will, to a

large extent automatically (plug & play), carry out the configuration (e.g., mapping of the ICP

Controller's BIOS and DPMEM, assignment of a proper system IRQ to a PCI interrupt). This

means that the PCI computer system (with its motherboard and PCI system-BIOS) must

meet the following requirements:
