SCSI connection checklist

• Turn off the computer, the LS-2000, and all SCSI devices before connecting the scanner.

Be sure that the devices at both ends of the SCSI chain are terminated. If the host computer is a Macintosh, the chain will already be terminated at the computer end. In the case of IBM PC/AT compatibles in a chain which contains external devices only, the chain should be terminated at the SCSI board. In the case of a chain which includes internal devices, you may need to remove termination from the board and terminate the last internal device.

The maximum number of SCSI devices that can be connected in a single chain is eight, including the computer and any internal SCSI devices such as hard disks or CD-ROM drives.

The total length of cabling in the SCSI chain should be no more than six meters (twenty feet). The longer the cabling, the less reliable the connection.

Safety Precautions

Do not damage the SCSI cabling’s protective insulation. Do not forcibly tug or bend SCSI cables, place cables under heavy objects or expose them to heat or flame. When disconnecting cables, handle the cable by the connector, not by the cable itself. Should the insulation be damaged or the internal wiring exposed, replace the cable immediately.

Do not handle SCSI cables or devices when your hands are wet.
