The SCSI-B connector is upopulated by default on the SE7520BD2V. Can I easily populate a connector and will it work? Thanks Christoph

Item number 23 is this lsi chip: http://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/SCSI/LSI53C1030/lsi53c1030_pb.pdf
You should locate that chip on the board, The information in the bios update functionality lists that as being functional; however I'm not certain if they mean you can put that lsi chip on professionally or if its there and you would just need to populate the connector to use it. I'm not sure if a bios update is required, they didn't mention that in any of the actual features added to the update, and they say that if updating the bios doesn't fix something, then you shouldn't attempt to update it anyway.
But a whole other issue is whether or not you should physically solder in a new connector or do you mean populated as in a wire is not plugged into a connector and going to a scsi hard drive
