Installing the
SlimSCSI Adapter

Note:
Your adapter cable may look different
from the one shown in the illustrations.
2

PCMCIA Type III, or Toshiba Type IV slot on your
portable PC.

4
To connect other external SCSI devices, obtain addi-
tional external cables and daisy-chain each device to
the previous device, as shown below:
SCSI Devices
Daisy-chaining means that a cable runs from the
SlimSCSI adapter to a SCSI connector on the first
SCSI device; a second cable connects the first SCSI
device to the next SCSI device, and so on. You can
daisy-chain up to seven external SCSI devices.
5
Terminate the last (or only) SCSI device connected to
the SlimSCSI adapter.
Most SCSI devices are terminated with a jumper or
switch near the SCSI connector. On some SCSI
devices, you must physically remove or install termi-
nator resistor modules. See the device documentation
for more information.
Note:
The SlimSCSI adapter is actively termi-
nated by default, and its termination cannot be
changed.
