Introduction and System Requirements
1
Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Components
®
USB-SCSI
Adapter. Now, you can easily add up to 7 SCSI devices on
your Windows
®
98 PC, or Mac
™
through USB port! No more
opening your computer case, no more IRQ conflicts or driver
problems! Simply plug it in!
Your PC must have:
• 486 processor or faster
• 16MB memory or more
• A free USB port (on the computer
or at a hub)
• Windows
®
98 or Windows
®
98 SE
Your Macintosh
®
must have:
• OS 8.6 or higher
• A free USB port (on the computer or at a hub)
Notes:
1. It is NOT recommended that you plug in the
USB-SCSI adapter to the USB ports on the
iMac
™
keyboard. The keyboard does not supply
enough power, and is a low-speed device.
2. If you own a non-iMac
™
machine and wish to add
USB ports, please obtain a Belkin USB BusPort
™
for Mac
®
(model # F5U005-Mac
®
)
Your SCSI device must be able to supply termination power
to the USB SCSI Adapter. Some devices such as Iomega
Zip
®
Drives and some brands of scanners will not be able to
provide the required +5V termination power. In such an
event, a SCSI device that can provide termination power
must be connected to the device chain or you can use the
power supply adapter supplied with the package.
If you are going to plug the USB-SCSI Adapter into a USB
Hub, make sure that it is a self-powered hub.
(A self-powered hub has its own power supply.)
