Installing SCSI hard disks

Note: Before you install a SCSI hard disk in your system, you need to install a SCSI controller card. The SCSI controller card shown in the illustration below is for your reference only. The actual system may not be bundled with a SCSI adapter card.

For more instructions on how to install a SCSI card to your system, refer to page 39.

To install two SCSI hard disks:

1Remove the system cover. See “Removing the system cover” on page 35 for more information.

2Configure the jumper settings, SCSI ID and terminators.

Note: Refer to the SCSI hard disk documentation for more information.

3Install the SCSI hard disks to your system following the instruction on page 43.

4Locate the SCSI controller card on the mainboard.

5Remove the fan blower. See page 39 step 2 for more information.

Note: If you want to connect more than one SCSI hard disks in a daisy-chain fashion, you may need a SCSI terminator. SCSI terminators are usually installed at the end of the SCSI cables to let fast signals be passed without distortion.

6Plug one end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI controller card connector (1).

Route the cable along the side of the mainboard and air baffle. Connect the second SCSI cable to the first SCSI hard disk connector

(2).

Connect the last SCSI cable to the SCSI hard disk connector (3) then attach a terminator to the end of the SCSI cable (4).
