2. Connecting more than one device
You can connect two or more devices one after one to your host SCSI
adapter serially. That is one of SCSI’s features.
Step 1
: First of all, of course, check your external SCSI cable to
match pin number of external connectors on SCSI adapter
and devices.
Step 2
: Plug one end of the high-density external SCSI cable into
the host adapter’s external connector.
Step 3
: Plug the other end of this external SCSI cable into one of
connectors on the SCSI device you are going to connect.
Step 4
: Take another external SCSI cable and plug it into the rest
connector of previous device. Connect the other end of
this external cable to the next SCSI device you are going
to connect.
Step 5
: Again, take another external SCSI cable and connect the
remaining device you are about to use with the same way.
Step 6
: Disable all terminators of these SCSI devices except the end
one, whose terminator needs to be enabled.
2.1.4 Installing Both External and Internal Drives
You can install both external and internal devices with only one adapter
at the same time.
For AEC6710S/6712S,
you can connect
maximum 7 devices
to both internal and
external connectors
totally. Please note
that you have to
terminate the last
device on both
external and
internal cables.
