■ Turn on an external SCSI device before turning on power to the
workstation. This enables the system board controller to recognize the
external SCSI device. When an external SCSI device is connected to the
external SCSI connector on the rear panel of the workstation, that device

CAUTION: Do not route cables near the air intake to the power
supply. Cables routed in this manner can block airflow to the
power supply, causing it to overheat.

NOTE: If you are installing a narrow SCSI device, you will need to attach a
68- to 50-pin SCSI adapter to it.
