Connecting External Options

Before you begin:

Read “Electrical Safety” on page 75 and “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 77 (or your safety booklet).

To connect external options (printer, scanner, SCSI devices, and so on) to your PC Server 704, see the documentation that comes with the options.

Connecting External SCSI Devices

The IBM PC Server Enterprise Storage Expansion Enclosure is one of several SCSI storage enclosures that you can attach to the PC Server

704.If you want to attach this device to your server, use the PC Server .8 mm to 68-Pin HD SCSI Cable.

Note: If your server has a RAID adapter installed, you can use the external connector on the RAID adapter to attach external devices. Otherwise, you must install an additional SCSI-2 adapter that has an external connector.
