Cabling an optional SCSI adapter
You can install an optional SCSI adapter in your computer to control the internal
hard disk drives. With a SCSI adapter installed, you can configure the internal hard
disk drives into disk arrays. You can also cable a SCSI adapter to external hard
disk drives. See your SCSI adapter option documentation for complete instructions
for installing a SCSI adapter in your computer and for additional information about
SCSI adapters.
Notes:
1. An optional SCSI adapter is required to connect external SCSI devices.
2. The SCSI cables used by the integrated SCSI controller on the extender card
cannot be used with an optional SCSI adapter.
Complete the following steps to cable an optional SCSI adapter:
1. Install the SCSI adapter (see “Installing an adapter” on page 55).
2. Connect the SCSI-signal cable to the adapter and to one or more of the
signal-cable connectors on the rear of the SCSI devices.
3. Connect the SCSI-activity-indicator cable to the adapter and to the SCSI-LED
connector on the system board. See “System-board internal connectors” on
page 51 for the location of the SCSI-LED connector.
