The device’s documentation describes how to check and change the termination. 4. Turn off the OmniBook, then connect the CD-ROM drive or other SCSI device to the OmniBook with an OmniBook-to-SCSI adapter cable. Then, connect the peripheral devices to the OmniBook one after the other—a “daisy-chain” connection. Be certain to place the terminated device at the physical end of the SCSI chain. 5. Plug each SCSI device into a proper electrical outlet. See the device’s documentation for details. 6. Turn on the SCSI device(s). Windows automatically detects the new SCSI device and sets it up when you turn the OmniBook on. If necessary, Windows requests information about the device.
When the OmniBook’s SCSI connector is attached to a SCSI device, the OmniBook is considered “docked” and a docking configuration is in effect. This includes turning the IR port off. You can inspect and edit this configuration (called either “Dock 1” or “Dock 2”) in System Properties, Device Manager (Control Panel, System). Highlight Built-in Infrared Port on Laptop, then click Properties. You can turn IR back on under Device Usage. (Look up “hardware profiles” in Help for instructions on editing the docked configuration.) Reboot after editing the hardware profile, and then the configuration will remain as you have changed it every time you connect to SCSI.
To prepare SCSI hard-disk drives The SCSI drivers support hard disks with 512 bytes per sector. They also support removable media with 1024 bytes per sector. For information regarding formatting and preparing your SCSI hard-disk drive, read the SCSIFMT.TXT file in the C:\SCSI directory on the OmniBook. Adding PC Cards The OmniBook PC card slots are available for plug-in PC cards that store data and expand the “communication” capabilities of the OmniBook. The OmniBook supports two kinds of plug-in PC cards: • Data storage cards—cards that function as disks for storing data (and therefore usually called “disks,” rather than “cards”).
The upper and lower card slots support data storage cards—they’re typically called drives D and E. • Input/Output (I/O) cards—cards that typically provide external connections, such as modems and network cards. The upper and lower card slots support I/O cards. Caution 33
