Page 112: Choosing A Scsi Address For The External Device
Chapter 3: Installing or Removing Peripherals Caution: For external SCSI devices to operate reliably, the maximum combined cable length of all external SCSI cables cannot exceed three meters. Use the cable and active SCSI terminator that came with the device. If you are using other types of cables or terminators, data loss can result.
Page 113: Setting The Scsi Address On The External Device
Connecting External SCSI Devices Setting the SCSI Address on the External Device Now that you have chosen a SCSI address, you need to set the address manually on the device that you will install. Most SCSI devices have a push-button switch or dial. The switch or dial is usually located on the rear or bottom of the device.
Page 114: Figure 3-19 Connecting One External Device To The Workstation
