NOTE
Do not mount tape drives or CD-ROM drives to the slide bracket.
6. Slide the device into the drive bay and secure it to the metal chassis.
7. Connect the power cable and SCSI cable to the device.
8. Close the base unit.
9. Restart the system.
10. If necessary, install the device’s drivers and configure the device according to the vendor’s
instructions.
Adding External SCSI Drives
You can add single-ended external SCSI drives to the system by connecting them to the SCSI port on
the back of the base unit. Additional SCSI option boards (adapters) can be installed to support external
SCSI drives as well. The section “Adding Option Boards” earlier in this chapter describes installing
new boards.
The Adaptec AIC 7860 SCSI controller on the system board provides the Ultra SCSI bus for external
devices.
SCSI Cable Guidelines
If you are using a SCSI adapter card, this information also applies.
The number of drives and length of the cables used to connect the drives becomes a factor when using
SCSI-1, Fast (SCSI-2), Ultra SCSI, and Ultra Wide SCSI drives. Fast SCSI, and Ultra SCSI impose
shorter cable restrictions than SCSI-1. The total length of the SCSI cabling must not exceed the
following:
Drives
SCSI-1
Fast SCSI-2
Ultra SCSI
1 to 4
19.8 feet (6 meters)
9.9 feet (3 meters)
9.9 feet (3 meters)
5 to 7
9.9 feet (3 meters)
9.9 feet (3 meters)
4.5 feet (1.5 meters)
NOTE
The SCSI controller (on the system board or an adapter card) counts as one device.
