SCSI Device Installation Guidelines
The following guidelines apply for adding SCSI devices:
The SCSI ID for each hot-plug hard drive is set as the bay number
(Bay 0 = SCSI ID 0).
If only one SCSI hard drive is used, it should be installed in Bay 0.
The Integrated Dual Channel Wide Ultra2 SCSI Controller supports
both internal or external storage devices.
Be sure to remove all termination from third-party SCSI devices.
Run the System Configuration Utility after installing a SCSI device, as
needed.
Determining SCSI Cabling Requirements
To determine SCSI cabling requirements, answer all of the following questions
about the mass storage device you are installing:
1. Will the SCSI cabling be internal or external? Refer to the appropriate
internal cabling or external cabling section in this chapter.
2. Will the Integrated Dual Channel Wide Ultra2 SCSI Controller be used?
If yes, refer to the following section, “Internal SCSI Cabling for the
Integrated Dual Channel Wide Ultra2 SCSI Controller,” for SCSI
cabling instructions.
3. Will an optional SCSI controller expansion board be used? If yes, refer
to option documentation supplied with the controller and to the cabling
tables that follow for SCSI cabling instructions.
4. Which internal SCSI drive type, drive cage, and expansion slot will be
used?
G Hot-plug SCSI hard drives are installed in the hot-plug drive cage.
G Non-hot-plug SCSI hard drives can be installed in the removable
media area.
G Fast SCSI-2 devices require a SCSI adapter to use the Integrated
Dual Channel Wide Ultra2 SCSI Controller.
G SCSI tape drives are installed in the removable media area.
G SCSI CD-ROM drives are installed in the removable media area.
G Separate SCSI controller boards are installed in the expansion slots.
