3. Connect any external SCSI devices to the appropriate SCSI port on the back of the
system. See “Connecting an External SCSI Device” below for details.
4. Connect the power cords from the monitor, system, and any external optional
peripherals, to receptacles on a grounded, three-prong AC wall outlet or an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
NOTE When you connect the computer power cord to the AC outlet, power is immediately applied to
the system. The system is always powered on when connected to AC power.
5. Open and stow the door on the front of the computer by doing the following:
−
Grasp the lip at the bottom of the door and lift up until the door is even with the top
of the system
−
Push the door into the system until the door stops
6. Stop! If you are not connecting external SCSI devices at this time, go to the section,
“What’s Next” at the end of this chapter.
Connecting an External SCSI Device
You may want to connect an external SCSI device, such as a hard disk or tape drive, to the
system. The TDZ 2000 features a standard external Ultra SCSI port. An external Wide
Ultra SCSI port is optional. Ultra SCSI provides a maximum data transfer rate of 20 MB per
second and Wide Ultra SCSI provides a maximum data transfer rate of 40 MB per second. If
you use a non-Ultra or non-Wide Ultra SCSI device, data transfer rates are limited to the
speed of that device.
Before you connect external SCSI devices to your system, read the following sections
carefully.
CAUTION Using a non-compliant SCSI-1 device with your system may cause your system to stop
working or lead to other unpredictable results.
CAUTION Make sure you shut down the system and unplug the power cord from the AC wall receptacle
before connecting or disconnecting any peripherals, including external SCSI devices.
NOTE See the System Reference for additional details on installing SCSI devices.
NOTE Most SCSI adapters do not recognize a hard disk drive that was formatted using a different
brand of adapter. For example, a hard disk drive formatted with an Adaptec SCSI adapter
will not work with a Symbios SCSI adapter. You must use only Symbios-formatted hard disk
drives with a Symbios SCSI adapter.
See “Configuring SCSI Peripherals,” in Chapter 3 for details on using the SCSI
Configuration Utility.
