Connecting external options
If you install a SCSI adapter, you can attach a SCSI storage expansion enclosure to
your server.
Cabling requirements
To select and order the correct cables for use with external devices, contact your
IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative.
For information about the maximum length of SCSI cable between the terminated
ends of the cable, see ANSI SCSI Standards:
v X3.131-1986 (SCSI)
v X3.131-1994 (SCSI-2)
v X3T10/1071D
Adhering to these standards ensures that your server operates properly.
Setting SCSI IDs for external devices
Each SCSI device that is connected to a SCSI controller must have a unique SCSI
ID, so that the SCSI controller can identify the devices and ensure that different
devices do not attempt to transfer data at the same time. SCSI devices that are
connected to different SCSI controllers can have duplicate SCSI IDs. The SCSI
controller uses one of the SCSI IDs; the default SCSI ID for the SCSI controller is 7.
Refer to the instructions that come with the SCSI devices for more information
about setting a SCSI ID.
Installation procedure
To attach an external device:
1. Turn off the server and all attached devices.
2. Follow the instructions that come with the option to prepare it for installation
