Connecting
multiple SCSI
devices
|
|
CAUTION
To avoid damaging components,
before
you connect or disconnect a SCSI cable, turn off the printer and all SCSI devices.
Before
you turn on the printer, turn on the SCSI devices.
|
-
Turn off the printer and the SCSI devices.
-
For each SCSI device, set a unique SCSI ID number (
0 - 6; the printer is
7
).
-
Connect the SCSI cable to the first SCSI device; you will need high-density SCSI connectors. Connect the second device to the first and so on.
-
Connect the SCSI cable attached to the first SCSI device to the printer port marked "SCSI."
-
Attach the terminator to the last device in the SCSI chain (not required if the SCSI device has a built-in terminator). Note the following:
-
The printer has an internal terminator.
-
The printer must always be at one end of the chain with a terminator (or a device with an internal terminator) at the other end.
-
Most SCSI external hard disks are shipped with an internal terminator that is active. If you are connecting multiple hard disks, you will need to deactivate the terminators on all devices except for the last device on the daisy chain. See the documentation provided with the disk for instructions.
-
For a scanner's termination, refer to its documentation.
-
If you have connected an uninitialized SCSI hard disk, see
Initializing a formatted SCSI device.
