U If you install only an internal SCSI drive, it is automatically terminated by the circuitry on the disk drive riser board when you connect the drive to it. You should install the terminator that came with system to the external SCSI port to terminate the external end of the bus. D If you install external SCSI devices to the computer, follow the instructions in your external SCSI device manuals to install the necessary terminator on the last external device on the bus. The built-in SCSI terminator that is soldered onto the disk drive riser board terminates the internal end of the bus whether or not there is an internal drive installed. Cl If you connect a SCSI device with a built-in terminator that cannot be removed, it must be the first or last device on the SCSI bus. Installing or Connecting SCSI Devices If you will be using an internal SCSI hard disk drive, see Chapter 3 for instructions on installing the drive in your computer (if it is not already installed). You can connect up to seven external SCSI devices to the external port if you did not install an internal SCSI drive or up to six devices if you did install one. You should connect your external SCSI devices after you install your internal SCSI device and replace the computer's cover. You must use the correct shielded SCSI device cables with your system. See your SCSI device manuals for information about the cables you should use. As a general rule, the shortest cables enable your SCSI subsystem to operate more efficiently. 4-4 Using the SCSI Subsystem

If you install external SCSI devices to the computer, follow
the instructions in your external SCSI device manuals to
install the necessary terminator on the last external device
on the bus. The built-in SCSI terminator that is soldered
onto the disk drive riser board terminates the internal end
of the bus whether or not there is an internal drive installed.

If you will be using an internal SCSI hard disk drive, see
Chapter 3 for instructions on installing the drive in your
computer (if it is not already installed).
You can connect up to seven external SCSI devices to the
external port if you did not install an internal SCSI drive or up
to six devices if you did install one. You should connect your
external SCSI devices after you install your internal SCSI device
and replace the computer’s cover.
You must use the correct shielded SCSI device cables with your
system. See your SCSI device manuals for information about
