4. Connect a SCSI connector to the bottom SCSI connector on the back of
Coolscan, since this is the end of the SCSI chain.
In this case, both the SCSI host side of the bus and the SCSI target device side of
the bus must be terminated, as shown in Figure 3.13.
Connecting Multiple SCSI Devices
In many cases, more than one SCSI target device will be connected to the SCSI
bus. When this is true, a series of SCSI cables must ‘daisy chain’ each device together,
even though the devices will usually only communicate directly with the PC, not with
each other. In this example, Coolscan is placed at the end of the SCSI chain. This daisy
chain configuration, as shown in Figure 3.14, minimizes the number of cables and con
nectors required.
Figure 3.14 Daisy chaining SCSI devices. Coolscan is shown at the end of the chain.
Procedure (using a Centronics 50-pin to Centronics 50-pin SCSI
cable — not supplied):
1. Make sure that the PC and all other SCSI devices arc powered off.
2. Remove the SCSI terminator from the last device in the SCSI chain.
