Cabling an optional SCSI adapter
You can install an optional SCSI adapter in your computer to control the internal
hard disk drives and provide additional RAID capabilities. With a SCSI 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.
The following notes describe information that you must consider when cabling an
optional SCSI adapter.

The SCSI cables that are used by the integrated SCSI controller cannot be used
with an optional SCSI adapter.

required for this adapter.
