4. Attach the other end of the cable to either of the identical SCSI ports on the back of the scanner; again make sure the cable connector is well seated.

5. Set the SCSI termination switch on the back of the scanner to the on position.

6. Continue at Setting the Scanner SCSI Identification Number later in this chapter.

If External SCSI Devices Are Connected

Continue here if multiple SCSI devices are connected to your computer in a chain. The following steps will help you determine where you should place the scanner in that chain — either at the end of the chain, or in the middle of the chain.

The total cable length connecting all devices must not exceed 15 feet (4.6

meters).

1. Be sure power is turned off to your computer, to the scanner, and to all devices in the SCSI chain (turn off the computer first).

2. Select the SCSI II cable supplied with the scanner.

Note: If the connectors at the ends of the supplied cable do not allow you to complete the following steps, you will need to purchase a SCSI cable will complete the chain described below. Cables are widely available from computer retailers; if you must purchase a cable, be certain to obtain a high quality cable with a continuous EMI shield over the cable and connectors.

3. Determine if the already connected SCSI devices are terminated or not.

To do so:

A. First look for an external SCSI terminator on the devices; if you find one (it should be on the last device in the chain), remove it.

B. Because some devices contain internal terminators, also check the instructions for your devices to determine if they are terminated internally.

4. If an external terminator has been removed or if none of the connected devices is terminated internally, follow the directions in this step; otherwise continue at the next step. In this step, you will place the scanner at the end of the chain of connected devices; however, you can place the scanner anywhere in the chain as long as the last device in the chain is terminated.

C

A. Attach one end of your SCSI cable to the empty SCSI port on the last device in the chain; make sure the connector is well seated.

B. Attach the other end of the cable to either of the identical SCSI ports on the back of the scanner; make sure the connector is well seated.

C. Set the SCSI termination switch on the back of the scanner to the on position.

D. Continue at Setting the Scanner SCSI Identification Number next in this chapter.

5. Follow this step if one of the connected devices is terminated internally.

In this step, you will place the scanner in the chain just before the terminated device; however, you can place the scanner anywhere in the chain between the terminated device and the computer. (The terminated device is shaded in the artwork below.)

A

A. Locate the cable leading to the internally terminated device; this should be the last device in the chain.

B. Disconnect the end of that cable from the internally terminated device; do not disconnect the other end of the cable.
