Configuring The New Scsi Drive - Gateway DX4320 Hardware Installation Manual

Chapter 3: Configuring the New Drive

Configuring the new SCSI drive

If your new drive is an IDE drive, go to "Configuring the new IDE drive" on
page 10.
If your new drive is a Serial ATA drive, go to "Configuring the new Serial ATA
drive" on page 19.
If your computer contains SCSI devices, they are connected to a SCSI host
adapter add-in card.
All devices on a SCSI data ribbon cable connect to form a chain. This chain
contains a SCSI host adapter and your other SCSI devices such as the hard drive
and tape backup unit.
To configure SCSI devices correctly on the SCSI chain, you must designate
(terminate) the ends of the chain and determine the order of the links (IDs)
between the ends of the SCSI chain.
