IMPORTANT
“Before You Connect a Device” and “Connecting a SCSI Device”
contain general instructions for attaching SCSI devices to your computer. Be
sure also to follow the specific instructions that came with your external hard
disk drive or other SCSI device when connecting the device to your
Macintosh.
Before you connect a device
Before you connect a SCSI device to your Macintosh, be sure to complete
these tasks:
m Install any necessary device drivers (software that makes a device work
with your computer). Drivers needed for a SCSI device usually come on a
floppy disk with the device. (If no drivers come with the device, then the
device doesn’t need drivers.) Be sure the drivers are designed for Power
Macintosh.
m Make sure each SCSI device connected to your Macintosh has its own,
unique ID number from 0 to 6 (or from 1 to 6 if you have a second internal
hard disk installed). See the instructions that came with each SCSI device
for information on checking and setting its SCSI ID number.
IMPORTANT
If you use two or more devices with the same ID number, your
equipment could malfunction and you could lose data as a result.
m Make sure you have the appropriate cable for attaching the SCSI device to
your Macintosh.
If the device is the first or only one you’re connecting, use a SCSI system
cable to connect it to the computer’s SCSI port.
