If you need to purchase a SCSI cable, note the following:
Internal Cables
You may already have a SCSI ribbon cable. If you are removing an existing internal
SCSI device and installing the PlexWriter 4/12, you can use the same cable. If you are
not removing an existing internal SCSI device, you may need to purchase a different
SCSI ribbon cable from your local computer supply store. The cable must have at least
as many connectors as you have SCSI peripherals (including one for your PlexWriter
4/12), plus one additional connector to attach to the interface board. Be sure to read
the section on ‘‘Termination’’ in Chapter 7 of this manual.
External Cables
If you have an external PlexWriter 4/12, you will need to purchase an external SCSI
cable. Make sure at least one end of the cable has the same kind of SCSI connector
as your PlexWriter. The other end of the cable must have the proper connector to fit
your SCSI controller
or
another daisy-chained external SCSI device. Be sure to read
the section on ‘‘Termination’’ in Chapter 7 of this manual.
Once you have assembled everything you need, you’re ready to install your drive.
But first, a few words of caution are in order.
