Terminating the Drive
Terminators prevent SCSI signals from being reflected off the last device in the
chain, and they help to regenerate the SCSI signal. If your drive is not the last
device in the SCSI chain, there is no need to connect an external terminator.
Your LaCie DDS4 drive requires an external terminator, which is included with
your drive. This terminator should be attached to the open connector on the
back of the drive if your drive is the only SCSI device connected to your
computer, or if it is the last device in your chain of SCSI peripherals.
3.1.4 - Connecting the Drive to the Computer
1) Power down your computer.
Warning! Before connecting the drive’s power supply cable to the
main power outlet, make sure that the drive is turned off! Failure to
do so could lead to serious damage of the drive.
2) Connect your drive’s power supply cable to the main power outlet.
3) Connect one end of your SCSI cable to the SCSI port on your computer, or
to a drive in your SCSI chain, if more than one SCSI peripheral is connected.
Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to either of the SCSI connectors on
your LaCie drive. If, due to connector incompatibility, you are unable to
connect the cable supplied with your LaCie drive to the SCSI port on your
computer, or to the other devices in your SCSI chain, please contact your
computer supply retailer to obtain an appropriate SCSI cable.
4) Power up your LaCie drive and all other peripherals in the SCSI chain first,
then power on your computer.
Important Note: Always power on all of the devices in your SCSI
chain before powering on your computer. This ensures recognition by
the computer’s operating system. Never connect or disconnect any
devices in your SCSI chain while the computer is powered on. Always turn off
your computer before connecting or disconnecting peripherals or powering off
the peripherals.
