Step 7.

The bracket around the connectors J3 (see

Figure 2.1

) should

fit in the slot where you removed the blank panel. Secure the
bracket with the bracket screw (see

Figure 2.2

) before making

the internal and external SCSI bus connections.

2.2.3 Connecting the SCSI Peripherals

SCSI bus connections to the LSI8751D inside your computer are made
with an unshielded, 68-conductor ribbon cable (see

Figure 2.3

). One side

of this cable is marked with a color to indicate the pin-1 side. Sometimes
the connectors on this cable are keyed to ensure proper pin-1
connection.

All external SCSI bus connections to the LSI8751D are made with
shielded, 68-conductor cables (see

Figure 2.3

). The connectors on this

cable are always keyed to ensure proper pin-1 connection.

Table 2.1

lists the SCSI bus widths and speeds as established by the

SCSI Trade Association (STA).

Important:

Use only cables designed and specified for operation with
Ultra SCSI devices to make connections to the LSI8751D.
See

Figure 2.3

for an example of the required cables.
