must be performed by ADIC-qualified personnel.
If you have drives to install, install them now

On the bottom-most drive, connect a jumper

the bottom SCSI connector on the drive
above it. Repeat this for all the drives.
If you have more than two drives, split the
drives between SCSI buses.
Terminate the SCSI bus(es) with an

appropriate terminator (LVD or HVD).
Install the cables between the bottom drive

the SCSI bus and the host.
