This manual

￿• A Warranty Registration card

None of the items should show signs of damage.

Installing the Host Adapter

At this point if your host computer system does not have native SCSI capability and the host adapter you are using is not installed, please install it. Refer to the manual that came with your host adapter for specific directions.

When the host adapter card is installed return to this point in the manual.

Connecting the Interface Cable

Attach an interface cable between the host adapter and the DS9000 Series. The kind of cable needed depends on the kind of SCSI bus connector on the host adapter. The DS9000 Series has two SCSI device connectors on the rear panel. It does not matter which connector is used.
