Determining Cabling Needs

To determine the SCSI cables needed for your application, follow the procedure
below:
1. Determine whether the cabling needs are internal or external.
2. Determine whether external cabling needs are for primary storage (hard
drive) or for secondary storage (tape drive or CD-ROM in the removable
media bay).
3. Identify the controller type.
4. Identify the drive type, drive cage, and expansion slot to be used.
5. Refer to the appropriate entry in the SCSI Cable Usage Matrix in this
chapter to determine the correct usage and routing of the cables for your
configuration.
