Learn2 Connect External SCSI Devices (Macintosh
OS) - Continued
 Make the connections (Fast/Wide
SCSI)
- Take the 68-pin to 68-pin cable and fit one end of it over the
port on the adapter card. Make sure it's fastened securely.
- Now take the other end of the cable and fit it over either of
the two connectors on the external Fast/Wide device. Again, make
sure it's fastened securely.
- If you only have the one external device, you need to terminate
it now. It appears that all Fast/Wide SCSI devices currently being
manufactured incorporate built-in "active" termination. There
will be an indicator light, and a small switch to turn the termination
off and on, make sure the indicator is lit.
- On the other hand, if you have additional devices to install,
switch the termination off the first device, take another 68-pin
to 68-pin cable, and fit one end over the second connector on
that device. Now fit the other end over either connector on the
next device. Repeat this step until you run out of devices.
Remember that the last device in the chain needs
to be terminated, so make sure that the indicator
is lit on that device.
