Connecting an External SCSI Accessory
Connecting an External SCSI Accessory
An external SCSI device can be connected as follows:
1You should assign an unused SCSI ID to the device. SCSI IDs range
from 0 to 15 for wide 16-bit SCSI devices. Generally, the SCSI ID 0
is reserved for the first SCSI hard disk drive and SCSI ID 7 is
reserved for the SCSI controller (the default for narrow and wide
SCSI devices).
NOTE Depending on your operating system, you may need to set a SCSI ID for
Plug and Play SCSI devices (SCSI devices that support the SCAM
protocol).
2Make sure the SCSI device is terminated correctly—either
internally or by a terminating resistor (refer to the manual provided
with the SCSI device).
3Connect the SCSI device to your PC Workstation’s external 16-bit
SCSI connector with a shielded SCSI cable.
4Refer to the manual provided with the SCSI device to learn how to
install any software that may be necessary to use it.
NOTE The total length of the external SCSI cables should not exceed 3 meters
(approximately 10 feet).
Step 2: Make sure
the SCSI device is
terminated
Step 3: Connect SCSI
device to your PC
