Before Operation
This drive conforms to the SCSI standard. A SCSI host adapter is therefore required to connect the
drive with a personal computer.
SCSI: an acronym for “Small Computer System Interface”. This is a standard that governs connec­
tions between personal computers and peripheral devices.
NOTE:
No more than 7 SCSI units can be connected to a computer. Also, the total length of the SCSI cable
from the personal computer to the last unit MUST NOT exceed 6 meters.

your personal computer, you must install it by following the instructions that accompany the adapter.
After completing the connections, check that the personal computer starts up properly.
Recommended SCSI host adapters (for desktop personal computers):
• Macintosh series: already installed
