PD 29160N Mac.book Page 7 Monday, November 13, 2000 1:38 PM Remove the Adaptec PowerDomain 29160 or 29160N from its antistatic bag. AUTION To prevent damage to the Adaptec PowerDomain 29160/29160N, always handle the PCI card by its metal bracket or its edges. Do not touch the gold connector or any of the components on the SCSI PCI card.

CD-ROM drives, and scanners, to a common SCSI bus. A SCSI bus is an electrical pathway consisting of a SCSI card, such as the Adaptec PowerDomain 29160 and 29160N, installed in a computer and one or more SCSI devices connected to the card by SCSI cables.
Page 12
Each device attached to the Adaptec PowerDomain 29160 or 29160N, as well as the SCSI PCI card itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID from 0 to 15. The Adaptec PowerDomain 29160 and 29160N IDs are preset to SCSI ID 7—the highest priority on the SCSI bus—and should not be changed.
The illustration below shows three possible areas where a SCSI bus is terminated: Built-in terminator on a SCSI cable Block terminator connected to a SCSI device Adaptec PowerDomain 29160/29160N Nonterminated end Termination switch on a SCSI device...
SCSI D ONNECTING You can connect a total of 15 SCSI devices to either the Adaptec PowerDomain 29160 or 29160N. SCSI devices can be connected to all four SCSI connec- tors on the Adaptec PowerDomain 29160, or all three connectors on the PowerDomain 29160N, at the same time.

PD 29160N Mac.book Page 16 Monday, November 13, 2000 1:38 PM Installation Guide When you have installed all your internal devices, close the cover or replace the cover on the computer case. (Refer to the instruc- tions in Setting Up Your Power Macintosh.) If you will not be installing external devices, connect all power cables to the computer and any previously attached external devices, and plug the cables into an electrical outlet.
Use a 50-pin internal Ultra SCSI cable to connect Fast/Ultra-SE SCSI devices that have standard 50-pin connectors to the 50-pin internal Fast/Ultra-SE connector on the Adaptec PowerDomain 29160 or 29160N. Locate a 50-pin internal Ultra SCSI cable. It should look similar to the cable in the following illustration.

Devices (29160N only) Use a 50-pin external Fast/Ultra-SE cable to attach external Fast/Ultra-SE SCSI devices that have standard 50-pin connectors to the Fast/Ultra-SE external connector of the Adaptec PowerDomain 29160N. Connect one end of a 50-pin external high-density SCSI cable to the 50-pin external Fast/Ultra-SE connector on the Adaptec PowerDomain 29160N.
