The SCSI Interface
In many cases, more than one SCSI target device will be connected to the SCSI
bus. When this is true, the chain of SCSI cables must connect or ‘daisy chain’ each
device together, even though the devices will typically only communicate directly with
the Macintosh, not with each other. In this example, Coolscan is placed at the end of
the SCSI chain. This daisy chaining configuration, as shown in Figure 3.11, minimizes
the number of cables and connectors required.

Daisy chaining SCSI devices. Coolscan is at the end of the chain. The rear view of
your system may not be the same.
Procedure (using a Centronics 50-pin to Centronics 50-pin SCSI cable):
1. Make sure that the Macintosh and all other SCSI devices are powered off
2. Remove the SCSI terminator from the last device in the SCSI chain.
3. Insert one end of the unused SCSI cables into the top SCSI connector on the
back of Coolscan.
4. Connect the other end of the unused SCSI cable to the free SCSI connector of
the neighboring SCSI device.
5. Connect the SCSI terminator to the bottom SCSI connector on the back of
Coolscan.
