ADIC FastStor Mass Storage Device Installing the Scsi Cable and Terminator, FastStor Rear Panel

Installing the SCSI Cable and Terminator

Notes

Make sure that the interface cable you are planning on using has the appropriate connectors on each end. The FastStor employs a 68-pin high-density SCSI connector on the rear panel.

If your host computer’s SCSI connector is different from that on the FastStor, you will need to obtain an adapter or a different cable. Consult your dealer or ATAC if you need help.

The interface cable must be shielded – ADIC can supply you with the correct type.

❐If your FastStor is the last device on the SCSI bus, install the SCSI terminator onto the remaining SCSI connector on the rear panel of the FastStor.

Note

SCSI bus TERM POWER is supplied by the robotics interface, not by the drive.

❐Connect the SCSI cable to either of the SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the FastStor.

❐Connect the free end of the SCSI cable to the connector on the host computer’s SCSI adapter.

❐If you wish to connect one or more additional devices to the bus after the FastStor, connect an appropriate cable between the remaining SCSI connector on the rear panel of the FastStor and the next device.

❐Be sure that the bus is terminated at the last device in the chain.

Note

ADIC recommends that you always terminate a single-ended SCSI bus with an active terminator.

✔Make sure that the SCSI cable between the host adapter and the FastStor is secure and the connections are fastened correctly.
