Installing System Components

If you are installing a SCSI device in the second drive bay (such as a tape backup device), connect the
interface cable to the device and to channel A on the SCSI controller card. See Figure 3-7.

See "System Board Connectors" on page 118 to locate the system board connectors.

NOTE:

A SCSI device attached to an optional SCSI controller card and an IDE device attached to the system

board can be installed together as shown in Figure 3-7.

Figure 3-7.

Connecting a Tape Drive to a SCSI Controller Card

10 Ensure that all cables are firmly connected and arranged so that they will not catch on the computer

cover or block airflow inside the system.

11 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 47.
12 Stand the system upright.
13 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached

peripherals.
