4. For an SE SCSI bus, be very careful regarding bus length. The normal
combination has a SE bus transfer speed of 160 Mbyte/s with a maximum
bus length of 3 m (9.8ft) and up to 4 SCSI devices connected. If your SE
system operates with a different transfer speed or have more than 4 SCSI
devices, we refer to the actual SCSI standard for complete bus length
restrictions.
D) Before the StorageLoader is powered on and the system is restarted, make
sure that the SCSI bus is properly terminated. If the StorageLoader
terminates the SCSI bus, it is recommended to connect the terminator from
the accessory kit box on the lower SCSI connector on the back plane.
To connect the SCSI bus cable:
1. On the rear of the StorageLoader, attach the device connector of the SCSI
cable to the upper SCSI connector, see figure 11.
2. Secure the cable with the thumbscrews on the connector.
3. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the appropriate SCSI adapter on
your system and fasten it with the thumbscrews.
4. If the StorageLoader is the last device on the SCSI bus, install a SCSI bus
terminator to the free SCSI connector on the StorageLoader. Make sure that
the terminator is of the correct type for your SCSI system.
5. It is possible to daisy chain several SCSI devices on the SCSI bus. If you do,
the terminator must be connected to the last device on the bus. Note that
there are limitations to the SCSI cable length.

Step 8. Connecting the Ethernet Connector

To connect the StorageLoader to the Ethernet, use the provided cable from the
accessory kit box.
1. Insert one end of the cable into the StorageLoader Ethernet port. Push until it
snaps into place. The open port in figure 11 is for Ethernet connection.
2. Connect the other end to a normal 10/100 BaseT Ethernet outlet.
