Step 3: Finding the Connector

The SCSI cable should have 1 or more unused connectors on the end
opposite the adapter, as shown, find a connector not in use.
We recommend a connector at the very end of the 50 pin SCSI cable.

Note:
If no free 50 pin SCSI connector exists, see “Troubleshooting”, page 18.

Step 4: Choosing the Configuration

SCSI ID selection

If no other SCSI devices are in the system, we recommend the default
jumper settings. In this case, go on to Step 6: “Connecting the Drive”.

If one or more SCSI ID’s are assigned, you must determine if the
default ID# 6 is free. If SCSI ID# 6 is assigned, you must change the
CD-R drive to a free ID# via jumpers at rear of drive (see Step 5).

Termination

If CD-RW drive is the last physical device on SCSI cable, leave
“Active Term” jumper in place.
Previous last SCSI device may need to be “un-terminated”.

If CD-RW drive is not on end of SCSI cable or last physical device,
remove the “Active Term” jumper and assure the last physical SCSI
device is properly terminated or activated.

Note:
Only the last physical SCSI device needs to be terminated.

Step 1: Opening the Computer

First turn off computer and remove / unplug all power cables!
Remove computer cover as directed in the User’s Manual.

Step 2: SCSI Configuration

Locate the 50 pin SCSI cable in your computer. One end of the cable is
connected to the SCSI host adapter card as shown below.

Note:
The following types of cables may be installed in your computer:

Note:
There may already be internal or external SCSI devices (HDD, Scanner,
CD-ROM) connected to the SCSI cable. If so, determine the SCSI ID# of
each SCSI device. This information is required for Step 5 “Setting the
Jumpers.” Refer to SCSI device(s) for ID data. In some cases, a SCSI chip
set may be implemented on the motherboard.
