2.3.3 Connecting External SCSI Devices

This section provides step-by-step instructions for connecting external SCSI devices. Refer to Section 2.2.2, “External SCSI Cable,” page 2-5for examples of external cables.

Step 1. Plug the 68-pin VHDCI connector on one end of a shielded external high density cable into the host adapter’s external SCSI connector. This connector is exposed on the back panel of your computer.

Step 2. Plug the 68-pin VHDCI connector on the other end of the shielded external SCSI cable into the SCSI connector on the first external SCSI device.

Figure 2.9 shows how to connect a single external SCSI device. If you have the correct cable, it will match the external connector.
