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 first, then turn off the SCSI devices.
-
For each SCSI device, set a unique SCSI ID number (
0 - 5; the printer is
7 and the optional internal IDE hard drive is 6).
-
Connect the SCSI devices to the printer:
-
Connect the SCSI cables to the SCSI devices; you will need high-density SCSI connectors.
-
Check termination:
-
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 hard disks are shipped with an internal terminator that is active. If you are connecting multiple SCSI devices, you will need to de-activate the terminators in all devices except for the last device on the daisy chain.
-
For termination information on any SCSI device, refer to its documentation.
-
Connect the SCSI cable to the printer.
-
Turn on the SCSI devices first, and then turn on the printer.
-
If you have a SCSI hard disk, see
Initializing a formatted SCSI device, and
Enabling and disabling Sys/Start Job execution.
