The standard SCSI CD-ROM drive is configured as the last device on the SCSI cable. Therefore, any additional devices attached to the cable should have their termination disabled. See the documentation provided with the SCSI device for information on disabling the device's termination. NOTE: Some systems may have an active terminator installed at the very end of the SCSI cable. If this is the case with your system, all of the devices attached to the SCSI cable should have their termination disabled. The 50-pin Ultra/Narrow SCSI cable has four connectors: The connector at the end of the cable farthest away from the other three connectors attaches to the SCSI host adapter connector labeled "SCSI2" on the system board. The other connectors on the cable attach to SCSI devices in the three external drive bays. To install a SCSI device that uses the on-board Ultra/Narrow SCSI controller, follow these steps: Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the back of the computer, unpack the drive, and compare the jumper and switch settings with those in the drive documentation. (See "SCSI Configuration Information" found earlier in this chapter for information on setting the drive's SCSI ID number and enabling termination [if required].) Change any settings necessary for this system's configuration. If the drive does not already have drive rails attached, attach a drive rail to each side of the drive. Orient the drive rails as shown in Figure 9-6. Secure each drive rail to the drive with a screw in each of the lower slotted screw holes on the drive rail. See "Removing the Computer Covers" in Chapter 7. If necessary, you can adjust drive alignment by repositioning one or both rails. 9-6 Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide

The standard SCSI CD-ROM drive is configured as the last device on the SCSI cable.
Therefore, any additional devices attached to the cable should have their termination
disabled.
See the documentation provided with the SCSI device for information on disabling the
device’s termination.
NOTE: Some systems may have an active terminator installed at the very end of the
SCSI cable. If this is the case with your system,
all
of the devices attached to the SCSI
cable should have their termination disabled.

Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the back of the com-
puter, unpack the drive, and compare the jumper and switch settings with those
in the drive documentation. (See “SCSI Configuration Information” found earlier
in this chapter for information on setting the drive’s SCSI ID number and enabling
termination [if required].) Change any settings necessary for this system’s
configuration.
If the drive does not already have drive rails attached, attach a drive rail to each side
of the drive. Orient the drive rails as shown in Figure 9-6. Secure each drive rail to
the drive with a screw in each of the
lower
slotted screw holes on the drive rail.
