Installing Drives 3-19
If you are installing an internal wide SCSI device (such as a wide SCSI hard-disk
drive)
, you have a 68-pin internal SCSI cable as shown in Figure 3-14. One end of
this cable attaches to the SCSI host adapter card and the two connectors on the
other end of the cable are used for attaching up to two SCSI hard-disk drives.
If you are installing an external SCSI device
, you have a shielded external cable
that connects to the external SCSI connector on the SCSI host adapter card. You
have a separate power cable to connect the SCSI device to an AC power source.

drive,
complete steps 2 through 4 and step 6 of “Installing a Drive in a 5.25-Inch
Drive Bay” found earlier in this chapter. Then continue with step 4 of this
procedure.
To install a 3.5-inch SCSI tape drive
, complete steps 2 through 7 and step 9 of
“Upper 3.5-Inch Bay” or steps 2 through 5 and step 7 of “Lower 3.5-Inch Bay
(Mini Tower Chassis Only)” found earlier in this chapter. Then continue with

For instructions on configuring the card, refer to the documentation that came
with the card as well as “SCSI Configuration Guidelines” found earlier in this sec-
tion. For instructions on removing and installing the card, refer to “Expansion
Cards” in Chapter 2.
If you are installing a hard-disk drive, connect the thin access indicator cable to
the SCSI host adapter card and to the HD LED connector on the system board
(see Figure 2-4). This cable carries a signal from the SCSI host adapter card to the
 previous next
