RAID adapter installed, you can configure the internal hard disk drives into disk arrays. You can also cable a SCSI adapter to external hard disk drives. See your SCSI adapter option documentation for complete instructions for installing a SCSI adapter in your computer and for additional information about SCSI adapters. Notes: 1. The SCSI cables that are used by the integrated SCSI controller cannot be used with an optional SCSI adapter. 2. If you install a ServeRAID 6i+ adapter, it must be installed in slot 3; no cabling is required for this adapter. To cable an optional SCSI adapter, complete the following steps: 1. Install the SCSI adapter (see "Installing an adapter" on page 18). 2. Connect the SCSI-signal cable to the adapter and one or more of the signal cable connectors to the rear of the SCSI devices. 3. Connect the SCSI-activity-indicator cable to the adapter and to the SCSI-LED connector on the system board. See "System-board internal connectors" on page 14 for the location of the SCSI-LED connector.

drives.
See
your

option
documentation
for
complete
instructions
for
installing

adapter
in
your
computer
and
for
additional
information
about
SCSI

Notes:
1.
The
SCSI
cables
that
are
used
by
the
integrated
SCSI
controller
cannot
be
used
with
an
optional
SCSI
adapter.
2.
If
you
install
a
ServeRAID
6i+
adapter,
it
must
be
installed
in
slot
3;
no
cabling
is
required
for
this
adapter.
To
cable
an
optional
SCSI
adapter,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Install
the
SCSI
adapter
(see
“Installing
an
adapter”
on
page
18).
2.
Connect
the
SCSI-signal
cable
to
the
adapter
and
one
or
more
of
the
signal
cable
connectors
to
the
rear
of
the
SCSI
devices.
3.
Connect
the
SCSI-activity-indicator
cable
to
the
adapter
and
to
the
SCSI-LED
connector
on
the
system
board.
See
“System-board
