ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an array of daisy chained slides for receiving carrier mounted electrical devices for connection with electrical equipment. The daisy chained array includes a bus cable having two ends and a data connector attached at each end. The bus cable is adapted for connection with the electrical equipment. The array also includes a plurality of slides, each slide having a slide data connector. Each data connector is attached to the cable between the ends in a daisy chained fashion. Each of the slides is adapted to receive a carrier compatible for sliding and mating connection with the slide. The carrier includes an electrical device, such as a hard or floppy disk. The carrier has a carrier data connector for mating with the slide data connector. The carrier data connector is attached to one end of a stub cable. The other end of the stub cable is attached to a device data connector for connection with the electrical device. In a typical application the slides are mounted within an enclosure including a power supply. The daisy chained array is used to extend a SCSI bus. Carrier mounted hard disks are then conveniently removed and installed while the system continues to operate. The carrier also includes a switch for assigning an identification number to the electrical device.
