These devices should not be terminated. Step 5: Terminate the SCSI device that is attached at the end of the internal SCSI cable. Caution: If you are attaching an AHA-2910C between two terminated SCSI devices, or if you are using both internal and external SCSI devices, you must disable host adapter SCSI termination with SCSISelect, (see Using SCSISelect on page 7). This device must be terminated, since it is connected at the end of the cable. Step 7: Replace the computer cover. Installing External SCSI Devices Connecting One Device Step 1: Plug one end of the 50-pin high-density external SCSI cable into the host adapter's external SCSI connector. Step 2: Plug the other end of the external SCSI cable into one of the connectors on the external SCSI device. Step 3: Enable the device termination or attach a terminating plug to the device. You would not terminate this device. External SCSI Cable Terminating Plug 4

Step 3:
Align the SCSI cable’s colored stripe with
Pin-1 on the SCSI device connector, and then plug it in.
Step 4:
Attach the remaining devices using the
remaining connectors. These devices should not be
terminated.
Step 5:
Terminate the SCSI device that is attached
at the end of the internal SCSI cable.
Caution:
If you are attaching an AHA-2910C
between
two
terminated SCSI devices, or if you
are using both internal and external SCSI
devices, you must disable host adapter SCSI ter-
mination with SCSI

Using SCSISelect
on page 7).
Step 6:
Connect a DC power cable from your
computer’s power supply to the power connector on
the SCSI device.
Step 7:
Replace the computer cover.
Installing External SCSI Devices
Connecting One Device
Step 1:
Plug one end of the 50-pin high-density
external SCSI cable into the host adapter’s external
SCSI connector.
Step 2:
Plug the other end of the external SCSI cable
into one of the connectors on the external SCSI device.
Step 3:
Enable the device termination or attach a
terminating plug to the device.
