CONNECTING POWER AND SCSI CABLES

After the LF 8600 has been installed in its operating location, refer to the next three sections for power cord installation and SCSI cable installation for a single device.

The LF 8600 has two SCSI input/output (I/O) connectors on the rear panel that are used to interface the drive with other SCSI devices (see figure below). Either SCSI connector can be used as the input or output port because the internal controller cable connection is common to both connectors.
