4. Connecting with a Computer

This drive unit connects to a computer through a SCSI ca- ble. There are two types of connection depending on whether or not an additional SCSI device is to be used. These two cases are discussed in this section.

Note: There are several physical forms of SCSI connectors. Check the SCSI connector of the computer and SCSI device to be connected and procure a proper SCSI cable.

For connection with an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, a SCSI board must have been previously mounted in the computer. To mount a SCSI board, consult the documents included with the SCSI board.

CAUTION: Turn off the power to the computer and SCSI device(s) before making the connections.

4-1 Using without other SCSI devices

Plug one end of the SCSI cable into the SCSI connector at the rear of the computer and the other into the SCSI connec- tor at the rear of this drive unit. Securely plug the cable end into the connector then secure it (with clamps or screws built into the SCSI cable).
