Have your Apple-authorized service provider remove any extra built-in
terminators. You can attach or remove external terminators yourself.

Note: If only one external device has a built-in terminator, rearrange the SCSI
chain so that device is at the end.

IMPORTANT

Always turn on any external SCSI devices connected to your

server before turning on the server itself. Otherwise, your server cannot
recognize the SCSI devices.

Installing a device driver

A device driver is software that lets the server communicate with a particular
SCSI device.

Note: If you have set up your server and connected additional devices, but not
yet turned the server on, return to the section “Plugging In the Server” in
Chapter 1 before installing a device driver.

To install a driver:

m

Start up your server, if it’s not already turned on, and drag the driver icon to the System

Folder icon on your startup disk.

Any drivers needed for a SCSI device are usually on a floppy disk that comes
with the device. (If no drivers come with the device, then it doesn’t need any.)
You may have to restart your server to activate the driver.
