2.Installation
This chapter explains how to connect a SCSI device to the U2SCXU.
2-1.Connecting the U2SCXU to a SCSI device
Follow the steps through to connect your SCSI device to the U2SCXU:
The fig.1 shows how to connect a terminator and
the U2SCXU when you connect only one SCSI
device.
Fig. 1
Terminator
The fig.2 shows how to connect a terminator and
SCSI cable and the U2SCXU when you connect
daisy-chain SCSI devices.

Terminator
Fig. 2
1)Make sure the SCSI device is in Power-OFF state.
2) Decide whether you daisy-chain SCSI devices or not.
2-1)If you connect two or more SCSI devices, set them as follows:
Daisy-chain them and attach an external active terminator to the last
SCSI device, as Fig.2 shows. Turn off the terminator switches on all of
the SCSI devices if the SCSI devices have internal terminator switches.
If you are not sure how to turn off terminator switches, refer to
the user’s manual that accompanied your SCSI device.
2-2)If you connect only one SCSI device, set it as follows:
If the SCSI device doesn’t have an internal terminator switch, attach an
external active terminator to the SCSI device; Otherwise, turn on
an internal terminator switch. If you are not sure how to turn off
the terminator switch, refer to the user’s manual that accompanied your
SCSI device.
3)Next, connect the U2SCXU to the first(or only) SCSI device.
If you have a SCSI device with a Low-Density Centronics 50 pin
or DB25 connector, use an adapter available from us.
In such a case, refer to Chapter 6.
4)Make sure each SCSI device has a SCSI ID except 7. Y ou can usually
change a SCSI ID with a switch on the back of SCSI devices. For more
information, refer to the user’s manual that accompanied your SCSI device.
5)If you use a PC, proceed to Chapter 2-2.
If you use a Mac, proceed to Chapter 2-8.

2-2.Connecting the U2SCXU to a PC
Follow the steps through to connect the U2SCXU attached to SCSI devices:
NOTE
Windows
If you use at least one MO drive on Windows Me, proceed to Chapter
2-4-3 first before connect it, and then follow the steps below. Otherwise,
the system will freeze up when you connect the MO to the PC.
1)If your PC is powered down, start it now.
2)Turn on the SCSI devices.
3)Connect the U2SCXU to an available USB port, as Fig.3 shows.
A LED on the U2SCXU will come on. If the LED doesn’t come on,
refer to Chapter 4-10.
