PX-R820T OPERATION MANUAL
The easiest way to install your SCSI cable is to plug it into the SCSI connector
on the rear panel of the drive before you insert the drive into your computer.
Then you can thread the cable through the front of the open bay you plan to
use and back toward the SCSI interface board. Connect the cable to your SCSI
interface board and finish mounting your drive in the proper position. The
drive should slide smoothly into the bay. If it does not, check for obstructions
in the bay and ensure the side rails (if needed) are attached properly.
You now need to make the power connection. In most computers, you will
find additional 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 CD-R drive.
If you do not find any additional connectors (either because they were not
supplied or they are all in use), you will have to buy a “splitter” or a “Y-connector.”
These can also be found at most computer stores.
A third cable, an audio cable, must be used if there is a soundboard in your
system. This cable runs from the four-pin audio output connector on the rear
panel of your drive to your soundboard. See page 32 for more information
about audio cables.
