Introduction

This user’s guide explains how to use the USBXchange to allow SCSI

devices to plug into the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port of your PC

compatible or Apple Macintosh computer.

The SCSI controller in the USBXchange allows you to connect up to

seven SCSI devices to your desktop, portable PC, or Macintosh computer.

These devices include fixed and removable drives, CD-R/W drives, DVD

drives, hard disk drives, magneto-optical (MO) drives, and most scanners.

The USBXchange provides transfer rates of up to 1.5 MBps or a

maximum sustained rate of 700 KBps.

Overview

The USBXchange is designed as an integrated adapter with a 50-pin high-

density (SCSI-2) connector. For installation, you simply connect the male

HD50 SCSI end of the USBXchange to the female HD50 SCSI connector

on your SCSI device. See Installing the USBXchange on PC Compatibles

on page 5, or Installing the USBXchange on a Macintosh on page 15 for

more information.

HD50 SCSI-2 Connector

The USBXchange is designed to act as a self-powered device and receives

its power from either the termination power line of attached SCSI devices

or, if not present, from the USB bus. In some cases, especially when using

unpowered USB hubs with attached SCSI devices which do not supply

SCSI termination power, the USB bus cannot supply the needed power for

the USBXchange to operate. In these cases, you may need an external DC

power source. See USBXchange Power Supply on page 13 (PC) and

USBXchange Power Supply on page 20 (Mac) for more information.

Note: Adaptec strongly recommends that you plug the USBXchange

directly into a USB port on your system. If you must connect

through a USB hub, use only a self-powered USB hub.

The USBXchange adapter is hot-pluggable, that is you can connect and

disconnect it from a live system. However, by industry standards, SCSI

devices are not hot-pluggable.

Installing the USBXchange on PC Compatibles

The USBXchange is easy to install and use. To avoid any problems during

the installation process, please follow the steps in order as described in

this section.

Connecting a SCSI Device

1Connect the USBXchange to your SCSI device(s).

Depending on the SCSI device connector type, you can either attach

the SCSI connector of the USBXchange directly to your SCSI

device, or you may require an additional cable or converter. To attach

additional SCSI devices, connect them using a SCSI chain. See

Connecting to More Than One SCSI Device on page 23, for more

information.

2Be sure your cable is securely attached to your SCSI device and

fastened in place with the built-in locking clamps.

3Power on the SCSI devices.

Note: Do not turn on the power until the SCSI device is attached to

the USBXchange adapter.

User’s Guide: USBXchange •6

Connecting to the USB Port

1After connecting to your SCSI devices, if your computer is not

powered up, then power it up now. Connect the USB connector into

the USB port located on your computer.

2Make sure the cable ends are firmly connected. Do not force your

connections as this may damage your system or the USBXchange.

Note: The USBXchange receives its +5V power from either the

terminator power line of the attached SCSI device, or if no

termination power is available, it switches automatically to

receive the power from the USB bus.

Connecting to an External USB Hub

1Connect the external USB hub (purchased separately) to the USB

port of your computer.

Note: To ensure proper operation, Adaptec recommends using only

self-powered hubs (only hubs that receive their power from

an A/C connection). Otherwise, you will need to connect the

USBXchange to an optional power supply. See USBXchange

Power Supply on page 13 for more information.

2Connect the USB connector of your USBXchange to a port on the

external USB hub.

Installing the Windows 98 Driver

When you attach the USBXchange, Windows 98 will automatically detect

it. If it is your first time attaching the adapter to your system, Windows 98

will prompt you to install the driver from the CD included with your kit.

Follow the steps in this section to install the Windows 98 driver:

1If Windows 98 is not running, start it now.

2If the USBXchange is not already plugged into the USB port, plug it

in now. Make sure the USBXchange is connected to a powered-up

SCSI device.

3An Add New Hardware Wizard dialog box should appear after

connecting to your USB port. Click Next to continue.

Windows 2000 will prompt you to install the driver from the CD included

with your kit. Follow the steps in this section to install the Windows 2000

driver:

1If Windows 2000 is not running, start it now.

2If the USBXchange is not already plugged into the USB port, plug it

in now. Make sure the USBXchange is connected to a powered-up

SCSI device.

3A Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box should appear after

connecting to your USB port. Click Next to continue.
