7. If not already connected, attach one end of the SCSI ribbon cable to the
connector on the SCSI board.
Figure 14: Connecting the SCSI Ribbon Cable
CAUTION: It is easy to accidentally plug your SCSI ribbon cable upside down into
both your drive and SCSI interface board. Be sure you match the red stripe along one
side of the SCSI cable to Pin 1 on the interface board and Pin 1 on the drive. Each
connector on the ribbon cable has a “key” in the middle. This key should fit into a slot
in the middle of each connector of the SCSI interface board, your PlexWriter, and any
other internal SCSI peripherals.
8. Double-check your work. You must ensure the side of the SCSI cable with the
red stripe is matched to Pin 1 on the interface board and on the drive.
9. Connect a power cable from the computer to the DC INPUT connector of the
PlexWriter drive. In most computers, you will find free power connectors that are
ready for your use.
Check the cable running from your power supply to your hard disk and see if it
has extra connectors on it. If so, you can plug one of these into the power
connector found on the rear panel of the PlexWriter.
