Guidelines for Installing SCSI Devices

SCSI Cables

Using a SCSI Cable

Compaq does not support mixing Ultra ATA and SCSI hard drives in
the same system.
On a Compaq Deskpro Workstation 300 for which you are replacing a
hard drive in bay 4 or 5, the replacement drive should be the same type
as the drive being removed. If you are replacing the Ultra ATA hard
drive with a SCSI hard drive, you will need a SCSI device option kit
and the SCSI controller option kit. The controller option kit contains
the SCSI controller and a cable that supports multiple SCSI devices.
Before installing a SCSI device on any workstation:
Verify the SCSI ID of the drive and, if necessary, set the SCSI ID
to a unique number. See "Guidelines for Using SCSI Devices" in
this appendix or refer to the documentation included with the
device.
Determine if the device requires termination to be enabled or
disabled. Set the termination if necessary. See "Using a SCSI
Cable" in this appendix or refer to the documentation included
with the device.
You can install mass storage SCSI devices in the front drive bays of
your workstation.
Select models of the Compaq Deskpro Workstation 300 ship with a
multimode SCSI cable that supports LVD or single-ended devices.
(UATA models do not ship with a SCSI cable). The cable
accommodates up to three SCSI devices in the front drive bay area.
Some Compaq Deskpro Workstation 300 models ship with an internal
SCSI drive preinstalled in the front drive bay area. You can add
additional high-performance SCSI drives using the external SCSI
connector located on the rear panel of the workstation.
