documentation below so that you may enjoy a trouble-free backup system.
Hardware Setup
Always Connect SCSI peripherals while the MX-2424 and Orb are powered off.
•
SCSI Cables
- The Orb drive
requires
a 9-Line Active Termination High Density 68-Pin to High
Density 50-Pin SCSI cable. A simple, non 9-Line Active Terminated, HD-50 Pin to HD-68 Pin will
not work. The proper cable can be found at

Termination
- The Orb has a built-in, automatic active SCSI terminator. You do not need to attach an
extra terminator to it.
•
SCSI IDs
- The Orb can only be set to SCSI ID 0, 4, 5, or 6. Note that the internal fixed drive in the
MX is set to 0. Each device on the same SCSI bus must have a unique ID.
