Connecting Internal SCSI Devices If you are connecting internal SCSI devices, make sure you have an internal SCSI cable with enough connectors to accommodate all of your devices. 1 Prepare each SCSI device for installation; config- ure the device SCSI ID and terminators (terminate the last internal device attached to the cable). For instructions, see the device's documentation as well as SCSI Configuration Guidelines on page 2. 2 Install the SCSI device in your computer. Refer to your computer and device documentation for instructions. 3 Plug the connector at one end of the internal SCSI cable into the host adapter's internal SCSI connector. Make sure the colored stripe on one side of the cable is aligned with pin-1 of the host adapter's connector. Pin-1 of the connector is usually designated by a small triangle (v), or a "1" on the connector. 4 Plug the remaining connectors on the cable into the connectors on the backs of the devices. Make sure the colored stripe on the cable is aligned with pin-1 of the device's connector. 5 Connect a DC power cable (from your com- puter 's power supply) to the power connector on the SCSI device. Connecting External SCSI Devices If you are connecting external SCSI devices to your host adapter, you must obtain an external SCSI cable for each external device you install. 1 Prepare each SCSI device for installation; config- ure the SCSI ID and attach a terminating plug into the last external device. For instructions, see the device's documentation as well as SCSI Configuration Guidelines on page 2. 2 Plug the connector at one end of the external SCSI cable into the host adapter's external SCSI connector. 6 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
