Installation and Connections
This section describes the SCSI connections between the DKC-ST5 and a
computer and any other SCSI devices.
Note
Power off the DKC-ST5 and all of the other connected devices before
making the SCSI connections.
SCSI Cables
It is recommended to use high-impedance cables complying with the
SCSI-2 standard for the connections.
Note
Up to seven SCSI devices can be connected in a daisy-chain to the SCSI
port of the computer, but the total length of the SCSI cables should not
exceed 6 meters.
SCSI Terminators
Using the DKC-ST5 internal terminator
The DKC-ST5 has a built-in active SCSI terminator. If you do not have an
external terminator, then as shown in the following illustration, connect the
DKC-ST5 as the last device in the chain, and enable the internal
terminator. (Set DIP switch 4 on the digital processor to the ON position;
see page 50.)
