Guidelines for Installing SCSI Devices Compaq does not support mixing Ultra ATA and SCSI hard drives in the same system. On a Compaq Deskpro Workstation 300 for which you are replacing a hard drive in bay 4 or 5, the replacement drive should be the same type as the drive being removed. If you are replacing the Ultra ATA hard drive with a SCSI hard drive, you will need a SCSI device option kit and the SCSI controller option kit. The controller option kit contains the SCSI controller and a cable that supports multiple SCSI devices. Before installing a SCSI device on any workstation: s Verify the SCSI ID of the drive and, if necessary, set the SCSI ID to a unique number. See "Guidelines for Using SCSI Devices" in this appendix or refer to the documentation included with the device. s Determine if the device requires termination to be enabled or disabled. Set the termination if necessary. See "Using a SCSI Cable" in this appendix or refer to the documentation included with the device. SCSI Cables You can install mass storage SCSI devices in the front drive bays of your workstation. Using a SCSI Cable Select models of the Compaq Deskpro Workstation 300 ship with a multimode SCSI cable that supports LVD or single-ended devices. (UATA models do not ship with a SCSI cable). The cable accommodates up to three SCSI devices in the front drive bay area. Some Compaq Deskpro Workstation 300 models ship with an internal SCSI drive preinstalled in the front drive bay area. You can add additional high-performance SCSI drives using the external SCSI connector located on the rear panel of the workstation.
