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.
1
Computers with 2-, 3-, and 4-peripheral SCSI cables come
with a terminator
2
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.
For additional information about installing optional SCSI devices,
refer to the documentation that comes with the device or contact
your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
