6. Installing and Removing External Devices
This chapter provides basic information about SCSI bus bandwidths and rates,
information about SCSI and serial device cabling, rules for daisy-chaining peripherals,
pointers to configuration documentation, and instructions for installing and removing
external devices. (For information on internal SCSI devices, see Chapter 7, “Installing
and Removing Drives and Front Module Parts.”)
To install a peripheral, first install the external device, power it on, and then power on
the OCTANE workstation so that the system software can recognize the peripheral.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
• “About SCSI Buses and Devices” on page 184
• “Installing External SCSI Devices” on page 186
• “About Cables” on page 189
• “Installing Serial Devices” on page 201
