Adding SCSI Peripheral Devices

You may have purchased a system with a PCI SCSI adapter and internal SCSI hard disk
drives. This adapter is connected internally to any SCSI devices inside the base unit, and to
the disk access LED on the front panel of the system. You can connect additional internal
and external SCSI peripheral devices to this adapter.
If you purchased a system with internal IDE and EIDE disk drives, you may have also
purchased an optional PCI SCSI adapter, or you may have purchased a SCSI adapter later.
In either case, you can connect external SCSI peripheral devices to this adapter.
CAUTION When adding peripheral devices to a system with a SCSI boot drive, add only SCSI devices.
If you need the driver for the system's SCSI adapter -- for example, if you must reinstall the
operating system and associated system software -- you can find it on the operating system
CD-ROM delivered with the system, or on the floppy diskette delivered with the adapter.
For information on configuring the system's BIOS on a SCSI system and configuring
external SCSI peripherals, see Chapter 3, "Configuring the System." For information on
booting from an external SCSI hard disk drive, see Chapter 4, "Operating Notes." For
information on connecting peripheral devices to the SCSI adapter, see the documentation
delivered with the adapter.
NOTE Make sure the last device on a chain of external SCSI devices has an active SCSI terminator
attached to the open SCSI port. All other external devices must have SCSI termination
disabled or removed.
