1.2 Connecting Internal SCSI Devices Step 1. If you are connecting an internal SCSI device, plug the 50-pin connector cable on one end of the internal SCSI ribbon cable into the connector J2 (see Figure 1.3). The ribbon cable included in your SYM20810 host adapter kit is keyed to assure that it can be easily connected. Step 2. Plug the 50-pin connector on the other end of the ribbon cable into the SCSI connector on your internal SCSI device. Step 3. To attach more than one internal device, use a

1.2.3 SCSI Bus Termination All SCSI devices have a set of resistors called terminators to assure reliable operation of the SCSI bus. The first and last physical devices on the SCSI bus must have these terminators enabled; all other SCSI devices on the bus must have their terminators removed or disabled. Termination on the SYM20810 host adapter is automatically enabled when it is connected to the end of the bus. Refer to the SCSI device documentation for information on how to identify and change t

1.2.4 Setting SCSI IDs Each device on the SCSI bus, including the host adapter, must have a unique SCSI ID from 0 through 7. Refer to your peripheral device documentation for instructions on how to determine and change the ID of each peripheral device. The SCSI ID on the SYM20810 is 7. Caution: The SYM20810 host adapter supports only Single-Ended (SE) SCSI devices. Differential SCSI devices may be damaged if you connect them to this host adapter. Refer to your SCSI device documentation to make s
