Scsi Setup - Siemens D981 Technical Manual

SCSI Setup

The following hints are only for the connectors at the onboard ultra-wide SCSI
controller.
Connectors and cables
The connector of the ultra-wide SCSI controller is 68pin.
The connector of 8-bit SCSI devices is 50pin; the connector of 16-bit SCSI devices
is 68pin.
If you want to connect 8-bit SCSI devices to the ultra-wide SCSI controller you
need an adapter (from 68pin to 50pin).
If you want to operate an 8-bit SCSI device as the last device on a SCSI line you
need an adapter (from 68pin to 50pin) with high-byte termination.
If you have set the Support for Ultra SCSI Speed menu item to Enabled, you may only
connect 7 SCSI devices with a maximum cable length of 1.50 m.
Only use good quality SCSI lines, otherwise you may have transmission
i
problems.
SCSI Setup
The BIOS of the ultra-wide SCSI controller includes a menu-driven SCSI Setup. This
program allows you to change almost all of the option settings of the SCSI
controller and the connected SCSI devices.
When you boot the system a SCSI-BIOS message listing the SCSI devices
connected is displayed.
If an SCSI-BIOS error message appears or problems arise with SCSI
i
devices, please refer to the chapter entitled

You may find further information in the documentation of your SCSI
device.
If you are unable to trace or rectify the error, please contact your dealer
or our service.
