[. . . ] A card slot available on the motherboard The scanner will slide into a 5 1/4" half-height drive bay as shown below. To enable film to be inserted into the scanner, the computer must have a cutout for this drive bay, so that the drive bay is externally accessible. The scanner will be powered from the computer using the standard computer drive power supply connector. The computer mother board needs to have an available single short connector slot for the SCSI interface board. Rail stop (open) Rail stop screw Rail slots Rail stop screw Insert the scanner here Film slot Rail stop (closed) - 29 - The computer drive bay has one or two metal stops screwed into the tapped holes on the sides of each half-height drive slot. These should be loosened to allow them to either be removed or to hang freely so they do not block the drive bay receptacles for the guide rails. These will be repositioned after the scanner is installed to lock the scanner in place. Attaching the guide rails to the scanner Depending on the type of computer, it may take several tries to find the best combination of holes on the scanner and rails for optimal mounting. The face of the scanner has to fit flush with other peripherals in the drive bays as well as the face of the computer. In addition, the scanner must slide into the drive bay without touching any other devices, or the drive bay itself. It should sit so that the cutout in the computer front panel aligns with the front of the scanner. Several attempts may be required to align the scanner in the computer drive bay. It is often easiest to identify the best holes while holding the scanner and rails in front of the drive bay. Choose the position that looks best, then screw the rails into the side of the scanner loosely and attempt to push the scanner into the bay. If it fits, remove the scanner, tighten the screws and continue with the installation. If not, move the rails with respect to the scanner and try again until it fits. The scanner side mounting holes Two sets of vertical holes are provided on the sides of the scanner. One set must be chosen according to where the computer allows the scanner to be positioned in the drive bay. Position the rails at the bottom of the scanner and, while holding the scanner, see if the scanner will slide into the bay rail slots. The guide rail mounting holes The guide rails have a tapered end and a non-tapered end. The tapered end is mounted at the rear of the scanner to facilitate the scanner's insertion into the drive bay slot. This flat end allows the scanner to be locked into position once the scanner is installed. Certain holes on the rails are elongated vertically, allowing precise adjustment of the position of the rails with respect to the scanner. The rails have a set of horizontal holes that can be used to position the rails forward or backward with respect to the scanner. Sliding the scanner into the drive bay Before the scanner is inserted into the drive bay, insure that the DIP switch block is set correctly. In rare cases, it may be necessary to change the configuration of the DIP switch block. [. . . ] The orientation is correct if the image edge numbers can be read. Aperture Upper holder Adaptor cover Cover latch Film strip Lower holder - 44 - Step 3 Align each image of the strip film with an aperture in the lower holder. Step 4 Close the upper holder, aligning both ends of the upper holder and the lower holder. Fasten the latches at both ends of the holder after securing the adaptor cover and fastening the cover latch. Holder latch Cover latch Holder latch - 45 - Step 5 Align the image to be read with either of the two apertures in the silver-colored adaptor frame. Insert the film holder in the film slot of the front panel in the scanner , with placing the aperture through which the image is to be read toward the slot. [. . . ]
