Connecting
the
SCSI Cable
One or more mass storage systems can be connected to
the
host computer.
Before connecting to
the
host computer, ensure
that
the
cabling conforms with
the
following
SCSI
cabling standards.
Caution
,
Your
mass storage system is a single-ended
SCSI
device.
Do
not
mix differential-ended
SCSI
hosts with single-ended mass storage
systems. Connecting a differential host to a single-ended mass
storage system could damage both
the
host
and
the
mass storage
system.
• The
SCSI
bus allows a maximum of eight devices, including
the
host computer
system. Since I your mass storage system can contain from one to five
SCSI
devices, you must make sure you know the number of
SCSI
devices within
your mass storage system before connecting it to the system bus.
It
is possible
that
two fully loaded mass storage systems could exceed the
SCSI
device limit.
• The total length of the
SCSI
cables must not exceed six meters. In addition to
external cables, each mass storage system contains 1.75 meters of internal
SCSI
cabling. This dimension must be included in cable length calculations.
• The last mass storage system on
the
bus must have a
SCSI
terminator (part
number K2291) fitted
on
its unused
SCSI
connector.
1.
Disconnect power to the host computer and the mass storage system.
2.
Connect the host computer
SCSI
cable to either of the two
SCSI
connectors
on
the
rear
panel of
the
mass storage system. Ensure
that
the
connector
retaining clips are locked in place.
3.
Connect the
next
SCSI
device or
the
SCSI
terminator to
the
other
SCSI
connector on
the
mass storage system.
