Connecting one SCSI device

C
A U T I O N
To avoid damaging components, before you connect or disconnect a SCSI cable,
turn off the printer, then turn off the SCSI device.
1.
Turn off the printer and the SCSI device.
2.
On the SCSI device, set a unique SCSI ID number (0 – 6; the printer is 7).
3.
Connect the SCSI cable to the SCSI device; you will need a high-density
SCSI connector.
4.
Connect the SCSI cable to the printer port marked "SCSI."
5.
Attach terminator (not required if the SCSI device has a built-in
terminator). Note the following:
The printer has an internal terminator.
The printer must always be at one end of the chain with a
terminator (or a device with an internal terminator) at the other end.
Most SCSI hard disks are shipped with an internal terminator that is
active.
If the SCSI device does not have an internal terminator, add one.
N
O T E
Devises that require power from another device (TERMPWR pin 38) may not
terminate properly.
For a scanner's termination, refer to its documentation.
6.
If you have connected an uninitialized SCSI hard disk, see "Initializing a
formatted SCSI device" on page 89.
7.
Turn on the SCSI device, then turn on the printer.
