Routing the SCSI drive cables
Cable routing for SCSI hard drive varies depending on which expansion slot you installed the SCSI controller
board—in the low-profile slot or in the standard height/full-length slot, and to a certain extent, to the location of
the cable connectors on the SCSI controller board you installed.
