Attach the cables
Drives with 68 pin connectors
Connect the SCSI cable and the power cable to the drive. The SCSI connector and power connector are
keyed for proper insertion.
Drives with 80 pin connectors
80 pin drives are plugged into back planes of servers and require no cables. If you want to connect an 80
pin drive to a 68 pin SCSI cable, a converter is needed. Not all SCA converters support LVD mode.
