1.1 Overview
The development of AEC-7730SA is based on ACARD’s SCSI-to-SATA technology, whichconverts a SATA ODD into a high-performance SCSI one. An on-board RISC micro controller developed by ACARD makes the bridge AEC-7730SA more flexible and stable in high-level applications.

Beforeinstalling AEC-7730SA, set up a SCSI host adapter like ACARD AEC-67162S first. Be sure that the host adapter is shown under “Device Manager” of “Computer Management” in Windows XP. Now follow theinstructions below to install. Step 1 Connect CN3 of AEC-7730SA to the SCSI adapter with a SCSI cable. Step 2 Connect CN2 of AEC-7730SA directly to the SATA ODD. Step 3 Connect CN1 of AEC-7730SA directly...
