SCSI Cabling

An installed SCSI cable connects the single-channel LVDS SCSI controller card to up to three
internal SCSI disk drives. External SCSI devices can connect to the controller’s external SCSI
port on the back of the base unit.

An additional SCSI controller card is required to control any SCSI peripheral devices installed in
front-access device bays.

Cable connects SCSI controller card
to three disk drives in internal-access
device bays

CD-ROM drive

External SCSI devices connect to
SCSI controller card’s external port
