If you are attaching multiple external SCSI devices, daisy-chain the devices to each other using the cables shipped with each device. For each external device, plug the socket end of the power cable into the AC power receptacle on the back of the device. Plug the other end of the power cable into an AC power source. See Chapter 3, "Installing and Configuring SCSI Drivers," in the Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems User's Guide for information and instructions.

You can configure a 2 x 2 or 2 x 3 non-hot-pluggable SCSI backplane board as a split backplane board or a single backplane board, depending on how the backplane board is connected. (Figures B-3 and B-4 in Appendix B, "Jumpers and Switches," show the location of the connectors on the SCSI backplane boards.) To configure a 2 x 2 or 2 x 3 SCSI backplane board as a split backplane, connect the backplane board to two SCSI channels, such as: The computer's on-board Ultra2/LVD host adapter and a SCSI host adapter card A SCSI host adapter card with two SCSI channels such as the Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller card Two SCSI host adapter cards 10-10 Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
