Connecting an External SCSI Device

If the computer has its external SCSI connector installed, you can daisy-chain external SCSI
devices to the system. If the system has no internal SCSI devices, you can daisy-chain up to
15 external SCSI devices to this connector. If the system has internal SCSI devices, you can
daisy-chain up to eight external SCSI devices to this connector. Before connecting any
external SCSI device see the documentation that comes with the device for instructions on
jumpering the device and assigning a SCSI ID.
