The SCSI Interface

Chapter 3

If Coolscan is to be connected in the middle of the SCSI chain: Connect one

end of this cable to the existing SCSI bus (connecting the SCSI cable to the Macintosh’s

SCSI bus will be explained in the next section), connect the center connector to the

SCSI connector on the rear of Coolscan, and connect the last connector to your internal

disk drive.

SCSI flat cables, (a) Chainable SCSI flat cable provided with Coolscan.

(b) Non-chainable SCSI flat cable.

The cable seen in Figure 3.6b is a

non-chainable SCSIflat cable.

If you already

have one of these, it can be used instead of the supplied cable if you are installing

Coolscan as the last device in the SCSI chain.

E

Make sure that DIP switch #4 is in the termination OFF position, as indicated in

Figure 3.4.

SCSI cables should never be connected or disconnected while the computer’s or

SCSI device’s power is on. Such action can damage the SCSI controller chip on

your Macintosh, requiring a motherboard replacement.

Please proceed to the section “The Macintosh’s Internal SCSI Connector.”
