CONNECTING MULTIPLE DEVICES

To install SCSI interface cables for a multiple-device configuration:

1.Ensure that the SCSI interface cables and a terminator (if required) are available and ready for installation.

2.Plug one end of a SCSI interface cable into the vacant SCSI interface connector on the previous device in the SCSI chain (see figure below). Plug the other end of the cable into a SCSI connector.

3.If the LF 8600 is not the last unit in the daisy chain, plug one end of the other cable into the vacant connector on the LF 8600 and then connect the other end of the cable to the next SCSI device. Repeat this process until you reach the last SCSI device in the daisy chain.

4.If the LF 8600 is the last unit in the daisy chain, install a terminator on the LF 8600's vacant SCSI connector.

5.Ensure that the SCSI bus is also terminated at the host adapter end.

The SCSI bus must be terminated at both ends in accordance with the LD 8100/LF 8120/LF 8600/ LF 8602 SCSI Interface Specification (P/N 97662164).
