SCSI

The SCSI port on the computer is a connector found either inside the computer or on the rear panel of the computer. There are three basic types of SCSI connectors dealt with in this manual.

The three types of SCSI connectors discussed in this manual are the SO-pin internal connector, external 2S-pin OB2S-type connector or SO-pin external Centronics connector.

Warnlngl

The SCSI connector should never be connected or unconnected while the computer Is running.

The External SCSI Connector

There are two typical SCSI connectors on computers . The first is the 2S-pin OB2S connector. This is the standard connector used on the Macintosh computers. It is a female connector, as shown in Figure 2.S [a] , and is similar to the printer port connector. 00 not confuse one of the printer port connectors on the computer with the SCSI connector should this type of connector be used .

The SO-pin Centronics connector is the most common connector used for external SCSI connections on the IBM-type PC computers. This connector is shown in Figure 2.S [b].
