Nortel Networks 201i manual Overview, Supported Scsi devices

Preparing peripheral devices Standard 1.07

Overview

Introduction

You can connect a modem and one or more SCSI devices to the 201i server.

The modem is connected to the 201i server by the multi I/O cable.

The SCSI devices are connected to the 201i server by the intermediate SCSI cable. If there is more than one SCSI device, the devices are daisy chained together. Each device on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID, and only the last device in the chain is terminated.

Supported SCSI devices

You need an external CD-ROM drive to upgrade, reinstall, and configure the 201i server. Since the CD-ROM drive is an external device, it requires its own AC power source.

You can use an external SCSI tape drive to back up and restore data. Since the tape drive is an external device, it also requires its own AC power source.

CAUTION

Risk of equipment damage

The CD-ROM and tape drives are not hot-pluggable. You must power off the 201i server before you connect or disconnect either drive.

Note: You can optionally use the hard drive on an administration PC instead of a tape drive to perform and store backups.
