Step 5 Connect the power cord, mouse, keyboard, and video monitor.
Step 6 Connect the network interface to either a 10-Mb or 100-Mb connector.
Note Turn on the primary AC power switch (back of unit) before the secondary power switch (front of the unit). Both switches must be turned on for the unit to work. You need to supply your own VGA-compatible video monitor.
You can use the Ultra Wide SCSI port to do the following:
- Expand storage with SCSI disk drives
- Function as a backup/archive device interface
For installation information, please refer to the documentation that came with your device.
Note Ultra Wide SCSI supports 40 MB-per-second transfer. If you attach slower SCSI devices to the Ultra Wide port, all your attached SCSI devices will run at the speed of the slowest device. On the Archive Server, the access speed of the internal SCSI drives will be affected if you attach slower devices. For best performance, attach only Ultra Wide SCSI devices. Note also that the last device on the SCSI bus must be terminated.
