Installing the SlimSCSI 1460
Follow these steps to install the SlimSCSI 1460 and connect your
SCSI devices to it:
1
Remove the SlimSCSI 1460 from its packaging.
2
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 kit.

(Optional) Connect up to six additional SCSI devices by daisy-
chaining them to the first device, as shown below:
6
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.
