Step 14. Connect Internal And External Scsi Devices - IBM pSeries 650 Installation Manual

Step 14. Connect Internal and External SCSI Devices

Note: If your system was ordered with the split disk drive backplane feature, two SCSI cables are used to
connect two SCSI ports (either two SCSI adapters, or one integrated SCSI connector and one
external SCSI connector) to the SCSI passthrough cables (in the system PCI adapter slot 7). These
SCSI cables are shipped with systems that are ordered with the split disk drive backplane feature.
If your system does not have the split disk drive backplane, skip step one of the following
procedure.
1. If your system was ordered with the split disk drive backplane feature, use the two SCSI cables
shipped with the system to connect the installed SCSI adapters (or the integrated external SCSI
connector) to the SCSI pass through adapter cassette in PCI slot 7.

1 External SCSI Adapter
2 SCSI Cables to Internal SCSI Device
2. Connect the SCSI cable to the SCSI connector.
3. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI device.
4. If this is the last device connected, connect the SCSI device terminator.
Note: The built-in SCSI interface is Ultra3 SCSI. When a cable is not attached to the SCSI connector
on the system, the SCSI bus is automatically terminated.
