10. If it is not already connected, connect the other end of the EIDE cable to the IDE1 connector on the system board.


NOTICE: You must match the colored strip on the EIDE cable with pin 1 on the IDE1 connector to avoid possible damage
to your system.

To locate the IDE1 connector, see

Figure 8

in "Inside Your Computer."

Installing SCSI Devices

This section describes how to configure and install small computer system interface (SCSI) devices in your system. To install a SCSI device, you
must have a SCSI controller card installed in your system.

SCSI Configuration Guidelines

Up to two SCSI hard-disk drives can be installed in the hard-disk drive bracket. Although you install SCSI devices essentially the same way as
other devices, their configuration requirements are different. For details on configuring your particular SCSI subsystem, refer to the documentation
for your SCSI devices and/or your host adapter card. The following subsections offer some general guidelines.

SCSI ID Numbers

Internal SCSI devices must have a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15.

When SCSI devices are shipped from Dell, the default SCSI ID numbers for the primary and secondary controllers are assigned as follows:

l

SCSI controller: SCSI ID 7

l

Boot SCSI hard-disk drive: SCSI ID 0

l

SCSI CD-ROM drive: SCSI ID 5

l

SCSI tape or digital audio tape (DAT) drive: SCSI ID 6

NOTE: Dell does not support mixing SCSI and EIDE hard-disk drives in the same system. If your system contains any EIDE hard-disk
drives, do not install SCSI hard-disk drives.
