Step 3: 
Align the SCSI cable’s colored stripe with 
Pin-1 on the SCSI device connector, and then plug it in. 
Step 4: 
Attach the remaining devices using the 
remaining connectors. These devices should not be 
terminated.
Step 5: 
Terminate the SCSI device that is attached 
at the end of the internal SCSI cable.
Caution: 
If you are attaching an AHA-2910C 
between two terminated SCSI devices, or if you 
are using both internal and external SCSI 
devices, you must disable host adapter SCSI ter-
mination with SCSISelect, (see Using SCSISelect 
on page 7). 
Step 6: 
Connect a DC power cable from your 
computer’s power supply to the power connector on 
the SCSI device. 
Step 7: 
Replace the computer cover.
Installing External SCSI Devices
Connecting One Device
Step 1: 
Plug one end of the 50-pin high-density 
external SCSI cable into the host adapter’s external 
SCSI connector. 
Step 2: 
Plug the other end of the external SCSI cable 
into one of the connectors on the external SCSI device. 
Step 3: 
Enable the device termination or attach a 
terminating plug to the device.
