scsi hd setup

[shinronin]

i recently bought a Quantum Atlas 10K II Ultra/160 9.2GB (QM309200TY-LW) and a Tekram Ultra/160 Controller (DC-390U3W). i need to put my present HD, a Seagate Cheetah U2W 9.1GB (ST39102LW), on the same chain as the Quantum Atlas to get some data off of it and onto the Quantum. how do i setup the jumpers and whatnot to do this? the Seagate Cheetah is presently the only drive on my U2W chain and so didn't require any jumpers since it's LUN 0 as the boot drive.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Peace,

Doug

just need to set different SCSI ID # on each drive and set the last drive to terminate the chain

Atlas 10K II Jumper Settings

Hmm, it seems that the drives might not have onboard termination. In that case, you would need a termination block.

thanks a lot AC! it turns out my problem was that i was skipping the female head after the cheetah on the scsi cable because i couldn't twist the cable so that the next head would connect to the atlas. i had to flip each HD upside down in the case so that i could connect consecutive heads. can you tell me why skipping a head is problematic? is there a way around this problem?

Peace,

Doug
