Internal Cabling with an Integrated
Controller or an Additional SCSI Adapter
IMPORTANT:
Do not leave unterminated cables connected to an internal SCSI port.
Proper SCSI bus termination requires that each connector is either connected to a SCSI
device with an appropriate cable or is unpopulated and capped with a safety cover. Do not
remove the safety cover from any unused SCSI ports except to connect the port to an
installed SCSI device.
Additional SCSI adapters and array controllers can be installed in available
PCI expansion slots. Contact your Compaq authorized reseller for information
about controller availability and ordering guidelines. Use the information
provided in the following table as a guide for determining the correct type of
cable for each additional SCSI controller you plan to install.
