grounding gasket on the front edge of the peripheral bay or the memory
bay cover as you insert it.

Connecting External SCSI Devices

The second LVD SCSI channel B is connected directly to the external VHD (Very
High Density) 68-pin SCSI connector on the rear panel. All external SCSI devices
are connected to the HP NetServer using this external connector, but the external
SCSI devices must provide the necessary termination at the end of the SCSI chain.
If no external devices are connected, then no termination is required. The internal
SCSI controller terminates channel B electrically, if no external devices are sensed
at the connector.
CAUTION Do not put high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices on
the same SCSI channel as Single-Ended (SE) or Low-Voltage
Differential (LVD) devices or you will damage the devices.
