Connecting External SCSI Devices
You can daisy-chain up to seven SCSI devices to the internal 50-Pin connector. You
can daisy-chain up to fifteen SCSI devices to the internal or external 68-Pin connec-
tor. There is a limiation of a total of 15 SCSI devices per ASUS PCI-SC875 card.
Daisy-chaining means connecting multiple devices with multiple cables. For ex-
ample, a cable runs from the external SCSI connector to the first external device; a
second connector on the back of the external device allows another cable to connect
with the second device in the chain, and so forth.
External cable connectors can only be plugged in one way, so pin1 orientation is
automatic.
Follow these steps to connect external SCSI devices:
1. Attach one connector of the external SCSI cable to the external SCSI connector.
2. Attach the connector at the other end of the external cable to either one of the
SCSI connectors on the external SCSI device.
3. To connect other external SCSI devices, daisy chain each device to the previous
device until all external SCSI devices have been connected.
