Installing the SlimSCSI 1460

Follow these steps to install the SlimSCSI 1460 and connect your

SCSI devices to it:

Remove the SlimSCSI 1460 from its packaging.

Determine which of the two 50-pin cables you will use to con-

nect the SlimSCSI 1460 to your first (or only) SCSI device. To

do this, see which cable connector (high-density or low-

density) fits the SCSI connector on the back of the device.

Note:

If your SCSI device has a DB25 (25-pin) connec-

tor, you can order a free DB25 cable from Adaptec by

sending in the card included in this User’s Guide.

Installing the SlimSCSI 1460

Connect the SlimSCSI cable to the SlimSCSI 1460, as shown

below:

Plug the other end of the cable into the first (or only) SCSI

device, as shown below. Make sure the SCSI device is not

powered.

SlimSCSI 1460 Adapter User’s Guide

(Optional) Connect up to two additional SCSI devices by daisy-

chaining them to the first device, as shown below:

Be sure that each SCSI device has a unique SCSI ID ranging

from 0 to 6. If any two devices have the same ID, change the

SCSI ID of one device. This is usually done by changing a

switch on the back of the device. (For more information, see

SCSI IDs on page 15.)

The diagram below shows a typical SCSI device with a select-

able SCSI ID switch:

Terminate the last (or only) SCSI device connected to the

SlimSCSI 1460. Read the device documentation if you are not

sure how to terminate the device, or refer to Terminating the

SCSI Bus on page 16.
