SCSI Cable and Guidelines

All workstation models use three areas for connecting mass storage SCSI
devices: internally with hard drives in the removable hard drive cage, internally
with storage devices in the front panel drive bays, and externally with external
storage devices. The workstation has an integrated Wide-Ultra SCSI controller
that has one internal connector on the system board and one external connector
on the rear panel.

SCSI Cables

The workstation ships standard with a 5-device Wide-Ultra SCSI cable
has a terminator on one end. One end of this cable connects to the internal
Wide-Ultra SCSI connector on the system board, and the other end (first device
connector) of the cable connects to the hard drive in the removable hard drive
cage. The cable has five connectors to handle up to five SCSI devices, a
maximum of three in the removable hard drive cage and two in the front drive
bay area.
