Chapter 4 Mounting the LS-10
Before Inserting Coolscnn
into the Drive Bay
Before inserting Coolscan into the chosen drive bay, make certain that the SCSI
DIP switch #4 is set correctly for the SCSI bus configuration. If you are placing
Coolscan at the end of the SCSI chain, the switch should be set to the termination ON
position. Conversely, if you are placing Coolscan in the middle of the SCSI chain, the
switch should be in the termination OFF position.
If Coolscan is the only SCSI device that will be on the SCSI bus, proceed to
Procedure 4.2 at this time. No modification to the SCSI DIP switch on the back of
Coolscan will be necessary.
If Coolscan will be placed in the middle of the SCSI chain, it will be necessary to
modify the SCSI DIP switches on the back of the scanner. Refer to the section “Setting
Termination on the LS-IO” in Chapter Three before proceeding to Procedure 4.2.
Procedure 4.2 in the next section provides step-by-step instructions for physically
installing Coolscan. Coolscan should fit snugly into the drive bay, yet it should not be
necessary to apply excess force to insert the scanner. If it does not slide in easily, reposi­
tion the guide rails or visually check the drive bay to clear whatever might be blocking
the path of the scanner. The most likely source of insertion jamming problems is the
connector cables themselves, bunching between the rear of the scanner and the power
supply.
Procedure 4.2 - Installing
Coolscan into the Drive Bay
Procedure 4.1 must be successfully completed before continuing
to Procedure 4.2.
Step 1. Insert Coolscan into the drive bay approximately half way.
This will facilitate connection of the power and SCSI cables.
Step 2. Connect the 50-pin SCSI flat ribbon cable to Coolscan.
Thread one end of the 50-pin SCSI cable through the drive bay and pull it
through into the bay. Align the Pin 1 keyway of the included SCSI flat cable with Pin 1
of the scanner’s SCSI connector (Note that the SCSI connectors on both the scanner
and the cable are equipped with a protruding keyway tab to safeguard against incorrect
