                MCS-350 & MCS-600/700 INSTALLATION

-------------------
Product Description
-------------------

The MCS-350/600/700 has been designed to provide easy "Plug and Play"
installation.

The MCS-350/600/700 supports all SCSI disk drives that conform to the
ANSI standard "Common Command Set". The MCS-350/600/700 ROM BIOS is 
designed to identify and properly support the type of SCSI disk 
drive it is installed with. The MCS-350/600/700 will work with IBM 
PS/2 MicroChannel family and compatible computers.


---------------------
Physical Installation
---------------------

Follow the IBM instructions for removing the cover and inserting
the MCS-350/600/700 in your MicroChannel computer.

The MCS-350 external connection to a SCSI device is via the 25-pin
D-SUB connector at the head of the board.  Various cables and
adapters are available from Future Domain to convert 50-pin header
to 25-pin, 25-pin to 50-pin Amphenol, and cables for device
interconnect.

The MCS-700 external connection to a SCSI device is via the high
density connector at the head of the board.

The MCS-600 external connection to a SCSI device is via the 25-pin
D-SUB connector with Apple SCSI Pin-Out at the head of the board.
The HCA-120 cable must be used with this connector.

Contact Future Domain for assistance as to interconnect cables to
fit your application.

--------------------
System Configuration
--------------------

Boot up the system using the "Reference Diskette" that came with your 
MicroChannel computer.  Make a copy of the diskette using the 
"Backup the Reference Diskette" option from the main menu.

Next, copy the appropriate "ADF" file from the Future Domain 
MCS-350/600/700 "Options Diskette" to the backup copy of "Reference 
Diskette".  This allows configuration of the MCS-350/600/700 SCSI 
adapter via the Reference Diskette's setup utilities.

For the MCS-350 board, you will use the "ADF" file @5F77.ADF.
For the MCS-600/700 (1800 based) board, you will use the "ADF" file 
@6127.ADF. For the MCS-600/700 (18c50 based) board, you will use 
the "ADF" file @60E9.ADF.

Once completed, boot from the backup copy of Reference Diskette 
and select the "Set Configuration" option.  Follow the instructions 
for setting up adapters in the MicroChannel System.  The MCS-350/600/700 
will show up on the menu.


Note : The "Automatic Configuration" option may not always correctly
resolve system resource conflicts. Therefore, we recommend users 
selecting the "Set Configuration" option instead.
