Film Scanner LS-4500AF User's Manual

Remarks

The maximum number of SCSI devices that can be connected to one
computer is eight. In the case of a host computer with a built-in SCSI

hard disk or built-in CD-ROM, note that SCSI ID numbers have been
pre-assigned for the host CPU and the SCSI devices.

The SCSI cable must not be extended beyond a total length of 19 feet (6
meters), or else failure may result.

If you use the type of terminator that is inserted between the SCSI cable
and SCSI interface connector, install a terminator independent of the

other SCSI connector of the LS-4500AF.

Terminators must be attached to the devices located at both ends of the

SCSI chain.

If the host computer is a Macintosh, the Macintosh itself will provide

termination at one end of the chain.

If the host computer is an IBM PC/AT or compatible, equipped with a
SCSI board, the SCSI board itself will present termination at one end of
the chain.

Note that when a SCSI chain connection is made inside a computer, the

end of the SCSI device inside the computer will become the end
terminal.

Before installing a SCSI board, be sure to read the user’s manual
provided with the board. The numbers for the I/O address, interrupt

level (INT) and DMA channel might be used for other interface boards
and peripheral devices. If so, change them as explained in the manual.
