• Figure 7-5 illustrates a SCSI tape drive connected to the SCSI controller on the system board. • Figure 7-6 shows a SCSI tape drive connected to a SCSI controller card.

If necessary, temporarily remove the baffle to allow easier routing of the interface cable (see "Removing the Baffle" in "Troubleshooting Your System").

For information about the controller card, see the documentation that accompanied the card.
