5-22 Preparing for Use with PC
Multiple SCSI devices are connected to a PC in a chain. If the DCS 465
Camera Back is one of multiple SCSI devices connected to your com-
puter, it must be connected as the last device in the chain of SCSI devices
since it only includes one SCSI connector.
The total cable length connecting all devices must not exceed 15 feet (4.6
meters).
You will need to determine if the connected SCSI devices are terminated
or not. To do so, first look for an external SCSI terminator on the devices.
Because some devices contain internal terminators, also check the in-
structions for your devices to determine if they are terminated internally,
and if they are whether that termination is currently active.
We provide two sets of instructions. Follow the first set (A) if none of the
connected devices are terminated or if one of the devices is terminated
externally. Follow the second set (B) if one of the devices — it should be
the last device in the chain — is terminated internally.
A. Follow these steps if none of the connected
devices are terminated or if one of the devices
is terminated externally.
1. Turn off the PC and all connected SCSI devices.
IMPORTANT: Later, when you connect and disconnect the PC and the DCS
465 Camera Back on a regular basis, make sure that all devices are off.
2. Place the DCS 465 Camera Back in a convenient position next to the
last device in the SCSI chain of devices connected to your PC.
