Connecting an External Device
Install external SCSI devices after you install internal SCSI devices,
and after you have replaced your computer’s cover. Any external
device you connect to your SCSI interface must be single-ended.
The external connector on the SCSI adapter card is a small,
alternative-I, D-shell connector that ensures correct pin 1
orientation on the option card. (The connector is defined as an
alternative-II connector in the SCSI-I standard.)
You can connect up to seven external devices to your SCSI
interface (provided you have no internal SCSI devices installed).
The number of external devices is limited only by the combined
length of the SCSI cables. The total length of the SCSI cables can
be no longer than 18 feet (6 meters).
For example, if the cable connectors to your external SCSI devices
are each three feet long, you could connect up to six external SCSI
devices to your interface.
