[SunHELP] SS10 - need help with SCSI

[Valery Yankin]

Thanks, Andre! I found an SS10 parts breakdown page 
(http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/SS10/4mSYSTEM_Sstation_10.html). 
The HDD type was stated there, it was a Seagate ST11200N, SCSI-2.

There is an IBM SCSI-3 50-pin HDD (IBM DCAS-34300) available at a local 
store. Will it work with SS10?

Uh... The monitor LED does not even change from yellow to green. I still 
think I will have to use the console.
