SCSI Configuration Information

 

Although SCSI drives are installed in essentially the same way as other drives, their configuration requirements are different. To install and configure a SCSI
drive, follow the guidelines in the following subsections.

 

SCSI Interface Cables

 

SCSI interface connectors are keyed for correct insertion. Keying ensures that the pin-1 wire in the cable connects to pin 1 in the connectors on both ends.

CAUTION:

See your System Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting

against electrostatic discharge.
