Installing Internal SCSI Devices If you are connecting only external devices, skip to Connecting External SCSI Devices on page 8. To install internal SCSI devices 1 Ensure that each internal SCSI device has a unique SCSI ID number between 0 and 6. Refer to the SCSI device's documentation for instructions on setting the SCSI ID. Note: Avoid touching the device connector pins. 2 Mount each SCSI device in an available drive bay inside your computer. Refer to the documentation for your computer and SCSI devices for installation instructions. Note: If space is limited inside your computer, you may have difficulty connecting SCSI and power supply cables to your SCSI devices once they're installed. Consider completing these connections (starting with Step 3) before installing the devices. 3 Connect one end of the 50-pin internal SCSI cable to the SCSI connector on the card, as shown in the next figure. Ensure that the connector fits snugly. Make sure Pin 1 on the cable aligns with Pin 1 on the internal SCSI device connector. Pin 1 is usually designated by a "1" or small triangle. 5
