Step 6:
Connect a DC power cable from your
computer’s power supply to the power connector on the
SCSI device.
Step 7:
Replace the computer chassis cover.
Installing External SCSI Devices
Step 1:
Plug one end of a 50-pin high-density external
SCSI cable into the host adapter’s external SCSI
connector. Plug the other end of the external SCSI cable
into one of the connectors on the external SCSI device. If
you are installing only one external device, enable the
device termination or attach a terminating plug to the
device.
Step 2:
To connect additional external SCSI devices,
daisy-chain each device to the previous device until all
devices are connected to each other. (The device at the
end of the chain must have a terminating plug or have
the on-board terminator enabled.) You need a 50-pin
high-density external SCSI cable to connect external
devices to the host adapter.
Step 3:
Reconnect the power cables to the computer
and external SCSI devices. Turn
ON
the power to the
external devices first, and then turn ON power to the
computer.
If you plan to boot your computer from a SCSI device
attached to the host adapter such as a hard disk drive,
run the SCSISelect utility, as described in Using
SCSISelect on page 6, and set the Boot Target ID to corre-
spond to the SCSI ID of the boot device.
