7-5 Determining Cabling Needs To determine the SCSI cables needed for your application, follow the procedure below: 1. Determine whether the cabling needs are internal or external. 2. Determine whether external cabling needs are for primary storage (hard drive) or for secondary storage (tape drive or CD-ROM in the removable media bay). 3. Identify the controller type. 4. Identify the drive type, drive cage, and expansion slot to be used. t Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 Hard Drive t Fast-Wide SCSI-2 Hard Drive t Fast SCSI-2 Hard Drive t Tape Drive t SCSI CD-ROM 5.
