Step 5b: Connectors (80 pin drives)
80 pin drives are to be plugged into backplanes of servers and require no cables. If you have an 80 pin
drive that you want to connect to a 68 pin SCSI cable, you will need to purchase a converter.

Step 6: Complete physical installation
Verify that the cable is properly connected to the SCSI controller. Replace the cover on the computer,
connect all cables, and plug the power cord into the wall.
Step 7: Installation and configuration
If you have just added a SCSI controller card, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install the card.
Boot computer
“Booting” means turning on your computer. Turn on your computer after you have inserted a bootable
diskette. You should see the drive listed when the system is booting.
Note: The example on the next page uses the Adaptec 3950U2 controller and the Model DRVS-09D
drive.
