PlexWriter 8/2/20 Operation Manual

Install an External PlexWriter Drive

To install an external drive, decide which cables you use, and whether you need to
change the switch, dial, and terminator settings on your PlexWriter and other
peripherals.

Before proceeding, double-check your SCSI number setting, SCSI termination
setting, and other switch-controlled settings.

Connect a Single Drive

If you are installing a single external PlexWriter drive, connect it as shown in Figure
15.
