Keep these points in mind when installing IDE

drives:

■ Your PC can recognize two physical IDE disk

drives when they are connected to the AVA-2825.

■ The first IDE drive must be set up as the master

drive (drive C) in CMOS

setup

, and the second

IDE drive (if any) as the slave drive.

■ If your PC has both IDE drives and SCSI drives, it

always boots from the IDE drive designated as

drive C.

■ IDE drives larger than 528 MBytes may require a

disk partitioning utility for use under DOS. The

utility is usually available from the drive manu-

facturer or the dealer.

■ You need to install FLEXI-Driver to attain the

highest data transfer rate from enhanced IDE

drives. See the FLEXI-Driver Installation Guide.

Reassembling and Starting the PC

1 Put the chassis cover back on the PC, following

the instructions in the PC documentation.

2 Be sure all power switches are OFF, then reconnect

power cables to the PC.

3 Turn ON the power for the PC and the peripheral

device(s).

When the PC boots, the host adapter BIOS sign-on

message appears on the screen. This message lists

installed SCSI devices and BIOS information. In

most cases your PC, host adapter, and SCSI periph-

erals are ready to use, and you do not need to run

the SCSISelect utility or change any switch settings.

Configuring the Host Adapter

Your AVA-2825 host adapter includes the SCSISelect

configuration utility. SCSISelect lets you change host

adapter settings such as parity checking and host

adapter SCSI ID without opening your PC or chang-

ing host adapter switches.
