Hard Drive Installation
■
Every SCSI chain or circuit must be terminated (closed) at both
ends. Some system boards have both ends of the SCSI cable
connected to, and terminated by, the system board. Termination
can be accomplished through one of the following methods:
❏
Using a cable with a built-in terminator. This cable was
shipped with your workstation.
❏
Using a cable with a terminating resistor plug in the last
connector.
❏
Connecting a SCSI device with its termination enabled into
the last connector.
❏
Connecting an external SCSI device with its termination
enabled to the external SCSI connector on the rear panel of
the computer.
■
Turn on all external SCSI devices before turning on the power to
the computer. This action enables the SCSI controller to
recognize the external devices.
■
The system accommodates a combination of internal and
external SCSI devices, such as hard drives, tape drives, and
CD-ROM drives.
