external) must not exceed 3 meters (9.8 ft.) to ensure
reliable operation. If no Fast SCSI devices are con-
nected, the total length of all cables must not exceed
6 meters (19.7 ft). See your device’s documentation
to determine if it is a Fast SCSI device.
Connecting Internal SCSI Devices
If you are connecting internal SCSI devices, make
sure you have an internal SCSI cable with enough
connectors to accommodate all of your devices.
1
Prepare each SCSI device for installation; config-
ure the device SCSI ID and terminators (terminate
the last internal device attached to the cable). For
instructions, see the device’s documentation as
well as SCSI Configuration Guidelines on page 2.
2
Install the SCSI device in your computer. Refer to
your computer and device documentation for
instructions.
3
Plug the connector at one end of the internal SCSI
cable into the host adapter’s internal SCSI
connector.
Make sure the colored stripe on one side of the
cable is aligned with pin-1 of the host adapter’s
connector. Pin-1 of the connector is usually desig-
nated by a small triangle (
▲
), or a “1” on the
connector.
4
Plug the remaining connectors on the cable into
the connectors on the backs of the devices.
Make sure the colored stripe on the cable is
aligned with pin-1 of the device’s connector.
5
Connect a DC power cable (from your com-
puter’s power supply) to the power connector on
the SCSI device.
