Apple Power Macintosh 7200 - Manual (Page 47)

Connecting external SCSI devices
Your computer has a port for connecting devices that use the Small Computer
System Interface (SCSI, pronounced “skuh-zee”). The SCSI port permits
high-speed communication between the computer and the device. The SCSI
icon appears above the port on the computer’s back panel.
You can connect SCSI devices to the SCSI port in a chain. The first device in
the chain plugs into the SCSI port; the second device plugs into the first
device, and so on. SCSI devices commonly used with the Macintosh include
hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, printers, and tape or cartridge
backup drives.
You can have a total of seven internal and external SCSI devices connected to
the SCSI port. For example, if your computer contains a factory-installed
hard disk drive and the optional internal CD-ROM drive, you can add either
one internal drive and four external SCSI devices, or five external devices.
IMPORTANT The sections “Before You Connect a Device” and “Connecting a
SCSI Device” (next) contain general instructions for attaching SCSI devices
to your computer. Be sure also to follow the specific instructions that came
with your external hard disk drive or other SCSI device when connecting the
device to your Macintosh.
