Connecting to a SCSI Drive

If your host computer system does not have native SCSI capability and the host adapter you are using is
not installed, install it. Refer to the manual that came with your host adapter for specific directions. When
the host adapter card is installed, return to this point in the manual.
Check to ensure that the interface cable you are using has the appropriate connectors on each end. The
Scalar 24 uses a 68-pin LVD SCSI connector on the rear panel.
• If your host computer's SCSI connector is different from the one on the Scalar 24, obtain an adapter
or a different cable. Consult your dealer or ATAC if you need help.
• The interface cable must be shielded–ADIC can supply you with the correct type.
Follow the procedure below to connect the SCSI cable and terminator:
