Expanding Your Server
4-31
• You can add 50-pin SCSI devices to a server equipped with a 68-
pin wide SCSI ribbon cable. This cable is supplied with three 68-
pin to 50-pin SCSI interface converter cables to allow adding SCSI
devices such as tape drives and CD-ROM systems that are not
presently offered with 68-pin SCSI interfaces. Contact your Digital
sales representative if additional SCSI converter cables are re-
quired.
NOTE: 68-pin wide SCSI devices cannot be added to a
SCSI cable connected to the main logic board’s 50-pin nar-
row SCSI interface connector.
• If your server boots from a disk drive other than SCSI, make sure
all SCSI device drivers are installed on that disk drive. SCSI de-
vices can be used with an IDE drive only if the IDE drive is config-
ured as drive C.
• Make sure the proper SCU setup options are set for SCSI opera-
tion. Refer to Chapter 3, “Server Utilities,” for additional informa-
tion.
