SCSI cables must run sequentially from one device to the host adapter and the device(s), using the internal and/or external connector(s). If you are labeled J5 and J1, respectively, in a single, connected series called the SCSI bus. These are connecting 8-bit SCSI devices to the User's Guide for each cable and device connector.
