3 Remove the cover from your computer.
As you work inside your computer, you may find that you have to
disconnect the internal SCSI cable or power cable from other devices to
maneuver the new tape drive into place. If you do this, take note of
existing cable connections and their orientation, so you can put them back
correctly later.
4 Determine whether you need another SCSI cable.


If your SCSI controller has a ribbon cable attached to it and there is an
unused connector, you will not need another SCSI cable. Go to step 5.


If your SCSI controller has a ribbon cable with an unused 68-pin
connector, you will need a SCSI 68-to-50 pin adapter. Once this adapter
is attached, go to step 5.


If your SCSI controller does not have a cable attached to it, you will
need a new SCSI cable. Once you have this cable, go to step 5.


If your SCSI host adapter has a cable attached to it but there are no
available connectors, you must do one of the following:
•
Install a SCSI cable with more connectors (a SCSI host adapter can
support up to seven devices)
•
Install another SCSI host adapter and cable
