Connecting the SCSI interface cable

Seagate's external DAT drives have two SCSI connectors
to allow daisy chaining, as shown in Figure 7. You can use
either connector to attach the drive to a host computer or
to another SCSI device.
Note. Turn off all power before connecting or
disconnecting cables or terminating plugs.
If the drive is the last drive or the only drive in a SCSI
chain, you must install a terminating plug on the unused
SCSI connector. See Figure 8 on the following page for an
explanation of SCSI termination. You can purchase a
terminating plug from Seagate Express (Seagate part
number 38-9-74000000).
