Chapter 7, Installing Internal Drives
The internal SCSI cable should have one or more unused connectors on it. You may
have to detach and re-attach the SCSI connectors on one or more other drives to get
connectors where you need them. Remember, this is SCSI, so the ends have to be
terminated. See ÒEnsuring proper terminationÓ on page 17 for details.
Because this system has a total of 9 drive bays, and a SCSI chain can handle
Note:
a maximum of 7 devices, including the pre-installed hard drive and the CD-ROM
drive, there is a separate cable, connected to the external SCSI chain, to be used if
the internal SCSI chain is Þlled to capacity. It is set up to be used for devices in the
3.5 inch drive bays. The internal SCSI bus operates at 10 MB/sec; the external
SCSI bus operates at 5MB/sec.
There is a key in the middle of the top of the SCSI connector and a notch in the
cable connector which matches the key, to ensure that the cable is not plugged in
upside down. If the cable resists being plugged in, check to make sure the key and
slot are mating correctly.
