Do not connect the scanner to the computer while it is turned on, or the scanner could be damaged.
2. Squeeze the lock releases on the lock connector end of your SCSI cable, and then plug the cable into either SCSI connector on the back of the scanner. The cable is secure when both connector locks snap in.
3.Connect the pin end of the SCSI cable
to the SCSI port on your computer, or to another SCSI device in the chain. Tighten the screws to secure the cable.
If you’re connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length of the SCSI bus (cables) should not exceed 9.8 feet (three meters); otherwise the system may not work properly. If you are connecting the scanner directly to your computer, use a cable no more than 19.7 feet (six meters) long.
Don’t use an external terminator.
4.Locate the SCSI terminator switch at the rear of the scanner.
If the scanner is your only SCSI device, or if it’s the last device in a SCSI chain, leave the terminator switch turned ON.
If you’ve connected your scanner in the middle of a SCSI chain, turn the terminator switch OFF.
5.Plug in the power cables for your computer, scanner, and other external SCSI devices.
