Cabling an optional SCSI adapter
You can install an optional SCSI adapter in your computer to control the internal
hard disk drives and provide additional RAID capabilities. With a SCSI adapter
installed, you can configure the internal hard disk drives into disk arrays. You can
also cable a SCSI adapter to external hard disk drives. See your SCSI adapter
option documentation for complete instructions for installing a SCSI adapter in your
computer and for additional information about SCSI adapters.
Notes:
1. The SCSI cables that are used by the integrated SCSI controller cannot be
used with an optional SCSI adapter.
2. If you install a ServeRAID 6i+ adapter, it must be installed in slot 5; no cabling
is required for this adapter.
Complete the following steps to cable an optional SCSI adapter:
1. Install the SCSI adapter (see “Installing an adapter” on page 26).
2. Connect the SCSI-signal cable to the adapter and one or more of the signal
cable connectors to the rear of the SCSI devices.
3. Connect the SCSI-activity-indicator cable to the adapter and to the SCSI-LED
connector on the system board. See “System board internal connectors” on
page 72 for the location of the SCSI-LED connector.
