[. . . ] When your SCSI card is installed correctly, your will see a SCSI symbol in the System Hardware profile windows. By checking though the Properties for the SCSI device, will be able to confirm that the it is working correctly. If the SCSI icon has a yellow "?" or "!" or a red "X" over it, a conflict is indicated, which you MUST resolve before connecting with the scanner. Determine a free set of resources using the System Device Manager window. Power off, install the SCSI card and follow the advice of the Hardware Wizard. 12 Making the Perfect Installation: Installing a SCSI Adaptor Windows 95 has a convenient method of displaying the resources used by the computer. Double-click on the System icon in the control panel and follow the path Device Manager | Computer | Properties to reveal a list of all IRQs (shown) and other resources in use by each device. You can also check the resources used by each individual device by clicking on an icon and selecting Properties. 13 Making the Perfect Installation: Installing Software 3. Installing software Windows 95 Nikon Scan If you installed your SCSI adaptor successfully then you will be familiar with the Hardware Wizard. This useful helper will now try to prevent you from completing the next phase of the installation!If you connect your Scanner to your SCSI card, the Hardware Wizard will try to install a driver for the scanner. However, scanners do not work in this manner, as they are temporary devices that only connect to the system when you call for a scan to be made. If you follow the Hardware Wizard your installation will almost certainly fail!2. b (Windows 3. 1 users) Recheck your config. sys file for conflicting drivers. 2. c (Macintosh/MacOS users) Restart the computer with the shift key held down to prevent system extensions from loading. If this works, disable extensions using the Extensions Manager to isolate conflicts. Systems without internal devices (hard disk, CD ROM drive) should have termination set on the SCSI adaptor card. If your system has an internal device, this device should be terminated and the termination should be removed or disabled on the SCSI adaptor. Follow this manual again, reinstalling SCSI drivers (PC users) and software. 19 Troubleshooting 1. De-installation and reinstallation of software The following describes a complete reinstall of Nikon Scan software and SCSI card on a Windows 95 platform. Double click on SCSI controllers and then single-click on the particular device you wish to remove so as to highlight it (example Adaptec AHA-150X. . . . . . . . . ). If prompted that Windows doesn't know whether it can remove the device safely select Test. Follow the same method for removing your scanner from under the Nikon Scanner group. If one or both of the devices was not present, check to see if there is any SCSI or scanner hardware listed under the category Other Devices. [. . . ] However, Nikon cannot hold an exhaustive list of all drivers for all SCSI adaptor cards. 24 Troubleshooting Windows 3. 1 Referenced in: Config. sys file (Device = <path>\<driver. sys>) Located in: A folder determined by the installer (same as <path> in config. sys) Names ASPI2DOS.

SCSI cabling Shown opposite are typical examples of some SCSI installations to help you identify the best configuration for your system. If you are unfamiliar with the appearance of the three types of SCSI connector, see the photographs on page 16. (If you do, then you are likely to already be familiar with how to interconnect devices). [. . . ]
