Your Workstation's Rear Panel Connectors

RS-232C Serial Input/Output Connector

You can attach a variety of pointing devices (such as a mouse or
trackball), or peripheral devices (such as printers, plotters, modems, and
scanners) to the RS-232C Serial Input/Output (SIO) ports on this
workstation. Consult the documentation that accompanies each pointing
or peripheral device for specific information concerning its use.

Multi-Mode SCSI Connector

Use the multi-mode SCSI connector to connect external SCSI devices
such as DDS-format tape drives. Note that the SCSI bus for this
connector is independent of the internal SCSI bus.
Consult the documentation that accompanies each SCSI device for
specific information concerning its use. For more information, refer the
Technical Reference.
When attaching external Single-Ended SCSI (SE SCSI) or Low-Voltage
Differential SCSI (LVD SCSI) devices, be sure to terminate the last
device on the external SCSI bus with a terminator appropriate for that
bus.
You can connect Narrow Single-Ended SCSI devices to the multi-mode
SCSI connector using a 68-pin to 50-pin adapter cable (C2961A – 1M
cable; C2906A – 2M cable). However, you should note:
• If you mix SCSI devices, it will cause bus performance to be that of
the device with the lowest performance.
• If you are connecting a Narrow Single-Ended SCSI (NSE SCSI)
device to the workstation, make sure it is the last device on the bus. If
a NSE SCSI device is between the workstation and a Wide
Single-Ended SCSI device, data loss will occur.
• FWD SCSI devices will not work on the LVD SCSI bus.

Power Cord Connector

Plug the workstation's power cord into the power cord connector to
provide AC power to the system.
