Connecting
CD-ROM Drives to
the CD-ROM
Server
If your CD-ROM server tower module and drives have been
pre-installed in a tower, proceed directly to “Connecting the
CD-ROM Server to the Network”.
You can connect up to seven SCSI CD-ROM drives to a single
CD-ROM server. You must use the SCSI cables that are
appropriate for your drives. If the cables were not supplied with
your drives, they must be ordered separately.
Note
❏ Be sure to follow the guidelines for connecting SCSI devices:
•
Minimize the SCSI bus length, which is the total length
of cable between SCSI bus terminators. However, do not
use device-to-device cables that are less than 0.5 meters.
•
Do not exceed the maximum SCSI bus length of 6 meters.
•
To work properly, the SCSI bus must be electrically
terminated at both ends using SCSI terminators. The
CD-ROM server contains an internal terminator for one
end of the SCSI bus. You must provide an external
terminator for the other end of the bus.
•
Each unit on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI
address, or “ID”. The CD-ROM server reserves SCSI
address 7. You can use values 0 through 6 for the CD-
ROM drives.
Note
❏ IDE and EIDE CD-ROM drives are not supported.
