Installing an External SCSI Hard Drive

You can add an external SCSI connector to the on-board SCSI controller.

To install the external connector:

1.Disconnect power from the system (page 79), remove the access panel (page 86), and remove the PCI card support (page 98), if installed.

2.Disconnect the optical drive cable and the diskette drive cable, if installed, from the system board.

3.Plug the data cable into the external SCSI port on the system board and route the cable under the PCI card guide as shown in the following illustration.

4.Reconnect the optical drive cable and the diskette drive cable, if installed, to the system board.

5.Lift the PCI levers 1 by first pressing down and then up.

6.Remove the PCI slot cover 2 from closest to the system fan.

7.Lower the other end of the data cable 3 into the chassis.

8.Close the PCI levers 4. If the PCI levers do not close, be sure all cards are properly seated.
