ABOUT THE MCS-600/700 INSTALLATION
============================================


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

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

The MCS-600/700 supports all SCSI disk drives that conform to the
ANSI standard "Common Command Set". The MCS-600/700 ROM BIOS is 
designed to identify and properly support the type of SCSI disk 
drive it is installed with. The MCS-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-600/700 in your MicroChannel computer.

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 in interconnecting 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 Future Domain "ADF" file (@60E9.ADF or
@6127.ADF) to the backup copy of your "Reference Diskette".  This 
allows configuration of the MCS-600/700 SCSI controller via the 
Reference Diskette's setup utilities.

For the MCS-600/700 board with the TMC-1800 IC chip, you will use 
the @6127.ADF file. 

For the MCS-600/700 board with the 18C50/18C30 IC chip, you will use 
the @60E9.ADF file.

Once completed, boot from the backup copy of your Reference Diskette 
and select the "Set Configuration" option.  Follow the instructions 
for setting up controllers in the MicroChannel System.  The MCS-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 to
select the "Set Configuration" option instead.
