Figure 2. Plugging the eXtremeRAID 1100 into a PCI Slot

2. Set the SCSI ID on each internal drive to a unique address between 0 

and 15, but do not use address 7, as it is reserved for the controller. See 
the documentation that comes with your drives for instructions on how 
to do this.

 Caution

If internal and external drives are used, be sure that no 
drive addresses are duplicated. External SCSI cabinets 
usually automatically assign drive addresses 
according to where in the cabinet the drives are 
located. 

3. Be sure termination is disabled on all drives connected to the 

controller. See the documentation that comes with your drives for 
instructions on how to do this.

4. Be sure that termination power is enabled on all drives connected to the 

controller. See the documentation that comes with your drives for 
instructions on how to do this.

5. Connect a wide, high-density, 68-pin SCSI ribbon cable to the internal 

SCSI connectors on the eXtremeRAID controller and connect the other 
cable connectors to any internal SCSI drives as required. See Figure 3.

6. Connect an active terminator to the end of the SCSI ribbon cable at the 

end farthest from the controller. See Figure 3.

Plug Controller into
any Available 32-bit
or 64-bit PCI Slot
