Installing the guide rails
Different computers have their own special requirements for
mounting devices in an internal drive bay. In most cases, a pair
of guide rails are screwed to the sides of the scanner to enable
it to be slid into the drive bay. These guide rails are also used
to lock the scanner in place.
The computer drive bays
In order for a scanner to be mounted inside the computer, the
computer must have the following:
1. An externally accessible 5 1/4" half-height bay
2. A standard power supply connector
3. 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.
