Dell OptiPlex Gs and Gs+ Low-Profile Systems Reference and Installation Guide

3.

If you are installing a SCSI host adapter card,

configure the adapter card.

For instructions on configuring the card, see the doc-

umentation that came with the adapter card as well

as “SCSI Configuration Guidelines” found earlier in

this section.

4.

Install the SCSI devices as appropriate.

•

To install a SCSI hard-disk drive

, complete steps

3 through 7 of “Installing an EIDE Hard-Disk

Drive” found earlier in this chapter. Then con-

tinue with step 5 of this procedure.

•

To install a SCSI tape drive, CD-ROM drive, or

DAT drive,

complete steps 2 through 6 of

“Installing a Drive in the 5.25-Inch Drive Bay”

found earlier in this chapter. Then continue with

step 5 of this procedure.

•

To install an external SCSI tape drive

, continue

with step 5 of this procedure.

5.

If you are installing a new SCSI host adapter

card, install it in an expansion slot now.

See “Installing an Expansion Card” in Chapter 6.

If a SCSI host adapter card is already installed

,

remove, reconfigure, and reinstall the card at this

time. See the documentation that came with the

SCSI host adapter card as well as “Removing an

Expansion Card” and “Installing an Expansion

Card” in Chapter 6.

Connect the hard-disk drive access cable to the

SCSI host adapter card and to the HDLED connec-

tor on the riser board (see Figure 6-3). This cable

carries a signal from the SCSI host adapter card to

the hard-disk drive access indicator on the com-

puter’s front panel whenever one of the SCSI hard-

disk drives is accessed.

6.

Attach the SCSI cable to each SCSI device.

For additional instructions on connecting SCSI

devices, see “SCSI Cable and SCSI Termination”

found earlier in this section.

If you are installing an internal SCSI device

, firmly

press the SCSI cable’s header connector onto the

50-pin connector on the back of the device. The con-

nectors are keyed for proper positioning—a raised

area on the outside of the header connector fits into a

notch in the shroud surrounding the 50-pin connector

on the device.

If you are installing an external SCSI device

, connect

one end of the external SCSI cable to the SCSI bus

connector on the back of the device.

7.

Attach the SCSI cable to the connector on the

SCSI host adapter card.

•

If you are installing an internal SCSI device,

connect the colored edge on the internal SCSI

cable to the pin-1 end of the 50-pin connector on

the host adapter card, and then press the cable

connector firmly onto the adapter card

connector.

•


,

connect the other end of the external SCSI cable

to the external connector on the host adapter

card.

For additional instructions, see the documentation

that came with the host adapter card.

8.

Connect the SCSI device(s) to power.

•

If you are installing an internal SCSI device

,

connect a DC power cable to the power input

connector on the SCSI device.

•


,

connect the socket-end of the power cable into

the alternating current (AC) power receptacle on

the back of the SCSI device. Connect the other

end of the power cable into a standard electrical

wall outlet.

Check all other cable connections. Fold all internal

cables out of the way to provide airflow for the fan

or cooling vents.

CAUTION: You must match the colored strip

on the cable with pin 1 on the drive’s interface

connector to avoid possible damage to your

system.

CAUTION: You must match the colored

strip on the internal SCSI cable with pin 1

on the adapter card connector to avoid

possible damage to your system.
