To connect an external SCSI device:
1.
Turn off the computer and the SCSI device.
2.
Make sure that the device has a unique SCSI ID from 1 to 6.
3.
Connect the device to the computerÕs SCSI port or to the last device in the
chain using the appropriate cable.
4.
Make sure that the last device in the chain is terminated.
Some devices require an external terminator, while others are internally terminated.
When you are ready to start up, turn on your SCSI devices before you turn on the computer.
If you do not, your computer will not recognize the devices.
Connecting an internal SCSI device
You install internal SCSI devices in one of the computerÕs internal storage bays. See
ÒInstalling internal storage devicesÓ in Chapter 3 for an illustration of the location of these
bays. Contact Technical Support for more information about installing internal SCSI devices.
Connecting a printer
Your computer has a port (marked with
[
). This port can be used for direct printer
connections or for LocalTalk network printer connections.
You can also connect a printer to the modem port (marked with
W
). Use the Chooser
program to tell the Mac OS which port you are using. See Macintosh Guide for information
about the Chooser.
To connect the printer, follow the instructions that came with it.
Connecting input devices
Use the computerÕs ADB port (marked with
V
) to connect input devices such as a mouse,
trackball, graphics tablet, or bar-code reader. Depending on their power consumption, you
can connect up to three input devices in a chain from the ADB port.
The total power used by all the ADB devices must not exceed 500 milliamperes (mA). Check
the documentation that came with your ADB devices for information about their power
consumption.
