To connect a CD-ROM drive or other SCSI device
The OmniBook’s SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) port commonly
connects to CD-ROM drives, hard-disk drives, and tape drives.
SCSI devices are disabled whenever you turn off the computer.
1. You will need an OmniBook-to-SCSI adapter cable (part number F1182A).
2. Each SCSI device must be set to a different SCSI ID number, ID 1 through ID 6.
See the device’s documentation for instructions for checking and changing the
device’s ID.
3. Set the SCSI bus termination for each device. The device at the physical end of
the SCSI bus must be terminated, while the devices in the middle of the bus
must have their terminators removed or disabled. See the device’s
documentation for instructions.
4. Turn off the OmniBook, then connect the SCSI device to the OmniBook with an
OmniBook-to-SCSI adapter cable. Connect the peripheral devices to the
docking system one after the other—a “daisy-chain” connection.
5. Plug each SCSI device into a proper electrical outlet.
