Step 6: Plug one end of the internal SCSI cable into the host adapter's internal SCSI connector. s If you purchased your host adapter in an Adaptec kit, an internal SCSI cable that allows you to connect up to two internal SCSI devices is included. If you are connecting more than two internal SCSI devices, you must obtain a 50-pin internal SCSI cable with enough connectors to accommodate all of your devices. s 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.

Step 6:
Plug one end of the internal SCSI cable
into the host adapter’s internal SCSI connector.
If you purchased your host adapter in an Adaptec kit,
an internal SCSI cable that allows you to connect up
to two internal SCSI devices is included. If you are
connecting more than two internal SCSI devices, you
must obtain a 50-pin internal SCSI cable with enough
connectors to accommodate all of your devices.
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 (
), or a “1” on the connector.
Step 7:
Plug the other end of the cable into the last
internal device (this device must be terminated; see
Step 4).
Step 8:
Plug the remaining connectors on the cable
into any remaining internal devices (these devices
must not be terminated; see Step 4).
Step 9:
Connect an available DC power cable
(from your computer’s power supply) to the power
input connector on the SCSI device.
