4b Installation of external SCSI cables

Installation of external SCSI cables can be performed after the cover has been closed. The cable is limited in length to a total of six meters including any internal cabling. The external cable can be daisy chained to include up to seven with the host adapter in combination with internal devices. The external cable is designed to be inserted only one way, requiring termination at the end peripheral device on the bus (FIGURE 5).
