Installation Basics
The internal cable permits connection of multiple internal devices. SCSI devices that are
connected to the internal connector are installed inside the host computer enclosure.
The external connector is accesible through the D-shell connector at the back of the
host system and is designed to connect devices outside the host system enclosure.

Connector Details
To increase the reliability of the cabling being used with the host adapter, it is recom-
mended that the following guidelines be observed:
SCSI-1 up to 6 meters or 20 feet
FastSCSI up to 6 meters or 20 feet
Impedance of the cable should be between 90-110 ohms
Use high quality shielded connectors
Installation in Ten Easy Steps
1 Power down the host computer and all peripherals.
Remove the cover from the host system. You may need to refer to the system manual
for cover removal. If necessary, identify the PCI sockets inside the host system with
the aid of the system documentation.
2 Use static electricity discharge precautions.
Remove possible static discharge potential from any objects that the host adapter
may come in contact with before installation. This can be accomplished by touching
a bare metal chassis rail after you have turned off the power.
