Notes:
1. This information in this section does not apply to the ServeRAID-5i controller,
which uses the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities on the system
board.
2. An optional SCSI adapter or cable option is required to connect external SCSI
devices.
Complete the following steps to cable an optional SCSI adapter:
1. Install the SCSI adapter (see “Installing an adapter” on page 46).
2. Connect the SCSI signal cable to the adapter and to 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 (J18) on the system board. See “System board internal cable
connectors” on page 34 for the location of the SCSI-LED connector.
