When connecting devices to the SCSI port:
♦
Enable termination on the last external device on the SCSI cable chain. Use an active
terminator.
♦
Disable termination on all other external devices on the SCSI cable chain.
Connecting SCSI Devices
To connect external SCSI devices:
1. If the system is connected to AC power and operating, shut down the system and unplug the
system power cord from its AC power outlet.
2. If a terminator module is connected to the SCSI port on the system, remove it.
3. Connect one end of a SCSI cable to the SCSI port on the system.
4. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to a SCSI peripheral device.
5. Connect a SCSI cable between SCSI ports on any additional SCSI peripheral devices.
6. Set the SCSI ID of each peripheral device to a unique SCSI ID number. Do not use any SCSI
ID numbers already used by the system on that port or channel.
7. For each SCSI peripheral device connected to the port, if the device is:
−
The last or only device on the SCSI chain, enable SCSI termination
−
Not the last or only device on the SCSI chain, disable or remove SCSI termination
8. Ensure that the power switch on each peripheral device is in the off position; then connect the
power cord from each peripheral device to an AC power outlet.
9. Turn on power to all connected SCSI peripheral devices, and then start the system.
10. If necessary, install software drivers and configure the peripheral devices according to the
vendor’s instructions.
Changing SCSI Controller or Device Settings
You may need to use the SCSI Configuration Utility to configure the operation of SCSI peripheral
devices connected to the integrated SCSI controller. This utility enables you to configure SCSI
controller, perform a low-level format on a SCSI hard disk drive, select boot order, and verify
media.
You may need to change SCSI controller parameters for a device under the following conditions:
♦
If you are advised to do so by technical support or instructed to do so by the vendor
documentation supplied with the SCSI device.
♦
If the SCSI device does not negotiate properly with the controller.
