4. 1 Guidelines for Connecting Expansion Boxes
Use the following guidelines when connecting expansion boxes:
• You can connect any combination of two expansion boxes. However, each
device in the expansion boxes must have a unique SCSI ID.
• You must attach the 50-pin terminator that comes with your expansion box
to an unused SCSI connector on the back of an expansion box.
• Plug all expansion boxes into the same grounded power strip or electrical
outlet.
Caution Some expansion boxes are restricted to either 110 Vac, or 220 Vac operation.
Make sure that the voltage requirement of any expansion box used is
compatible with the supply voltage.
• Turn on all expansion boxes before you turn on your system unit.
This procedure ensures that the device in each expansion box is ready for
use, and that the system firmware includes the device in its configuration.
