Understanding SCSI connections
Read the following sections to determine how to set up your SCSI
devices and whether you need any optional SCSI cables.
Daisy chain
The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such
as a scanner, hard
drive
, CD-ROM, etc.) to the computer, in what is
called a “daisy chain” arrangement. Only the first SCSI device in a
daisy chain is connected to the computer; each of the other devices
is connected to another SCSI device.
SCSI cables
