Page 21: Assigning System Resources
Install the retaining screw. Attach any required cables to the internal or external connectors. Assigning System Resources Some expansion cards include a configuration diskette that you can use to reserve the system resources required for the card. Other expansion cards do not include a diskette, but require that you manually program the BIOS with the configuration information. - Page 22 Remember the following when installing an optional peripheral device: If you are installing a SCSI peripheral device, have the vendor’s documentation available to follow instructions for setting the SCSI ID, enabling or disabling termination, installing device drivers when required, and configuring other drive attributes. Adding an internal SCSI peripheral device may limit the speed of the SCSI bus channel to the speed of that device.
- Page 23 If you are installing a SCSI device, do both of the following (see Chapter 5, “Peripherals,” for details): Set the SCSI ID on the new drive to an unused ID number. Disable termination on the new drive. If you are installing an IDE device, proceed to the next step. Do one of the following: If installing a standard disk drive, place the disk drive in the tray, align the mounting holes, and install the four mounting screws.
-
Page 24: Adding External Scsi Peripheral Devices
Tighten the thumb screw on the top of the locking plate to lock the drive into place. Connect the proper interface cable (either SCSI or EIDE) and the power cable to the disk drive. Adding External SCSI Peripheral Devices You can connect additional SCSI peripheral devices to the external port of the SCSI adapter, which is located in the expansion slots on the back of the system. -
Page 25: Scsi Cable Quality Guidelines
SCSI Cable Quality Guidelines To ensure data integrity and optimum performance, do the following: Use the shortest cables possible to connect SCSI devices to the system and to each other. Use high-quality SCSI cables to ensure adequate shielding. CAUTION When handling cables, flex them as little as possible. Ensure that cables do not contact sharp metal surfaces or become excessively bent or twisted. -
Page 26: Changing Scsi Host Adapter Or Device Settings
Do one of the following: If the device is the last or only device on the SCSI chain, enable SCSI termination. If the device is the first device or is between the first and last device on the SCSI chain, disable SCSI termination. -
