9. I Installation SCSI adaptors cards are circuit boards that fit into the expansion slots inside your computer The card set up will involve specifying certain parameters to allow the computer to communicate with the card These parameters include for example interrupt IRQ port and memory address range They are set on the card by some combination of jumpers switches or through a software utility and on the computer by adding lines to the config sys file The adding of lines to the config sys file is usually done by an installation program that also copies the correct drivers to your hard disk Each card may have a different method of setting the values of the param eters The most important thing to remember is that the value that you set must not conflict with other devices that are already installed on your com puter For instance if you set the SCSI card IRQ to 12 and your mouse happens also to use that number then your card and mouse will probably stop working Check your computer thoroughly before starting by examining any fitted cards in expansion slots and confirming the allocation of resources in the config sys file Making the Perfect Installation Installing a SCSI Adaptor 11 Summary Step 1 Try to find out what resources are in use by your computer This includes your mouse network card game port etc Type msd at your system prompt to run the Microsoft Diagnostics program Note the usage of port address
