Installing External Storage Devices
The first expansion box connects directly to the SCSI connector
on the system unit. Each additional box for that connector
connects to the box connected before it.
When you count the number of devices connected to the SCSI
connector, remember that the BA42 storage expansion box can
contain two devices.
Unless you have only one SCSI connector and seven devices,
don’t fully load a connector. For example, if you have eight
devices and two connectors, attach four devices to each
connector.
Set Up Your Expansion Boxes
1. Place the expansion boxes for each SCSI connector as near
as possible to where you will use them.
2. For each expansion box, locate the cables and terminators
listed here. Be sure to use the cables that came with the
system unit rather than the cables that came with your
expansion boxes. The cables you should use are pictured in
Figure 5-3.
One system-unit-to-expansion-box cable that has a
different connector at each end.
One expansion box terminator.
One power cord for each expansion box you are using.
One 18-inch box-to-box expansion cable with identical
connectors at each end for every expansion box except
the last box at the SCSI connector.
