"IMPORTANT The factory-installed internal hard disk is terminated. If another SCSI device is attached to the internal SCSI interface, it must not be terminated. The internal SCSI interface can contain only one terminated device; if you attach more than one terminated device to the internal SCSI interface, damage to the computer�s main logic board can occur."
