Cabling for Optional SCSI Devices, Hard Drive Installation Guidelines

Page 51 highlights

Cabling for Optional SCSI Devices Depending on the model, your computer may include one of the SCSI cables shown in the next illustration. SCSI Cable Options Because your computer comes preconfigured, cable configuration does not become a consideration until you decide to add an optional SCSI device.  Computers with 2-peripheral SCSI cables (without termination) must have termination enabled on the last device. Computers with 3- and 4-peripheral SCSI cables come with a  terminator on the end of the cable. The connector on the opposite end of the cable always connects to the system board. All SCSI devices connected with these cables must have their  termination disabled. Some devices may not have terminating jumpers on the device. Termination on these devices must be achieved with terminated cable. When installing a SCSI device, be sure to route the SCSI cable over the expansion board cage, between the raised areas.

Cabling for Optional SCSI Devices
Depending on the model, your computer may include one of the SCSI
cables shown in the next illustration.
SCSI Cable Options
Because your computer comes preconfigured, cable configuration does
not become a consideration until you decide to add an optional SCSI
device.
Computers with 2-peripheral SCSI cables (without termination)
must have termination enabled on the last device.
Computers with 3- and 4-peripheral SCSI cables come with a
terminator
on the end of the cable. The connector on the
opposite end of the cable always connects to the system board.
All SCSI devices connected with these cables must have their
termination disabled.
Some devices may not have terminating jumpers on the device.
Termination on these devices must be achieved with terminated
cable.
When installing a SCSI device, be sure to route the SCSI cable over
the expansion board cage, between the raised areas.
