Connecting external SCSI devices

1-20
Your computer has an external port for connecting devices that use
the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI, pronounced "skuh-
zee"). SCSI devices include hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives,
scanners, some printers, and tape or cartridge backup drives. The
SCSI port permits high-speed communication between the
computer and the device.
You can connect SCSI devices to the SCSI port in a chain. The first
device in the chain plugs into the SCSI port; the second device plugs
into the first device, and so on.
You can attach up to seven SCSI devices to the SCSI port. All SCSI
devices connected to this chain must have their own unique ID
number (no two devices can use the same ID number).
IMPORTANT
Before you connect a device on page 1-21 and Connecting a SCSI device
on page 1-23 contain general instructions for attaching SCSI devices
to your computer. Be sure to follow the specific instructions that
came with your external hard disk drive or other SCSI device when
connecting the device to your computer.
