8 Installation
Kingston Technology Company DS50 User's Guide - Rev. B00
IF INSTALLING AN 8-BIT SCSI DEVICE:
The unit ID cable contains black, brown, red/black, and orange wires. Attach
three (3) connectors from the SCSI ID select cable to the appropriate 2mm drive
pins (Figure 6). The fourth (orange) wire is not used for the 8-bit installation.
The single black wire plugs into the drive pin used to select ID0, the brown wire
plugs into the drive pin for ID1, the red/black wire plugs into the drive pin for ID2.
The orange wire is not used for this interface.
In most cases, the drive manufacturer labels each pair of SCSI ID select pins in
significant bit order (0, 1 and 2). One row of drive pins is the signal row, and one
row is designated for ground. Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for
specific pin configurations.
The Data Silo ID select cable provides 2mm, 2-conductor drive connectors. A
single wire attaches to one side of each connector (with the exception of the red/
black connector). The cable side of each connector must align with the signal pin
on the drive. On the red/black connector, the red wire aligns with the signal pin on
the drive and the black wire aligns with the ground pin.
NOTE: Some versions of the Data Silo have a reversible ID select cable. This cable
may be attached to either 2mm or 1.25mm drive pins.
