must install or remove according to your configuration.
4. External cables must be a minimum of 1 foot in length (0.3 meters). The
combined length of SCSI-2 cables in a chain must not be longer than
approximately 20 feet (6 meters).
5. Generally, each SCSI-2 device requires a software driver.
6. Most SCSI-2 drivers require that their associated device be turned on
during startup to recognize the device. Therefore, turn on external
SCSI-2 devices before turning on the expansion base.
F.2 Sample SCSI-2 Configuration
Figure F-1 shows a sample configuration with a mixture of internal and
external SCSI-2 devices. The device at each end of the chain is terminated.
The controller and the devices plugged into the middle of the chain are not
terminated.
NOTE: The SCSI-2 controller has active termination; you do not have to
install or remove a terminator on the controller.
1. Expansion base
2. Internal SCSI-2 device - terminated (T)
3. SCSI-2 controller - automatically terminated (AT) when required
4. External SCSI-2 device - terminated (T)
5. External SCSI-2 device - not terminated
