STEP 3:

Plug the remaining connectors to your internal Ultra2 SCSI

peripherals.

NOTE:

Internal Ultra2 SCSI peripherals come from the factory without

termination. Proper termination is provided by the built-in terminator at the

end of the Ultra2 internal SCSI cable.

Connecting Internal Cables for Non-Ultra2 SCSI Devices

Internal cables for single-ended SCSI devices do not have special twists or

terminators built into the cable ends. If you are connecting non-Ultra2 SCSI

devices, use a channel separate from the Ultra2 SCSI devices you just con-

nected. The motherboard has a special 50-pin narrow connector to more easily

support narrow Ultra and earlier devices if you so choose.

If you are connecting Wide SCSI peripherals you will need a 68-pin cable. If

you are connecting narrow SCSI peripherals you will need a 50-pin cable.

When connecting the 50-pin cable to peripherals ensure that the colored edge

of the cable connects to pin 1 of both the device and the motherboard SCSI

connector.

STEP 1:

Locate a 68-pin or 50-pin internal Ultra SCSI cable.
