Connecting an External SCSI Accessory (Selected Models Only)
Connecting an External SCSI Accessory
(Selected Models Only)
An external SCSI device is connected as follows:

controller (the default for narrow and wide SCSI devices).
Refer to the manual provided with the SCSI accessory for
instructions on selecting a SCSI ID.
NOTE You don’t need to set a SCSI ID for Plug and Play SCSI devices (SCSI
devices which support the SCAM protocol).
Windows 98 does not support SCAM.

internally or by a terminating resistor (refer to the manual provided
with the SCSI accessory).
3Connect the SCSI accessory to your PC Workstation’s external 16-bit
SCSI connector with a shielded SCSI cable.
4Refer to the manual provided with the SCSI accessory to learn how
