Connecting the Unit

Connecting the BW-RS101

SCSI Cables
SCSI Terminator
You can connect the unit to one host computer through a SCSI bus that has up
to 15 devices connected in a daisy chain.
Note
Before connecting the unit, make sure to turn off the unit and all the other
devices on the SCSI chain.
1
Connect a SCSI cable to the SCSI connecter of the unit to connecting a host
computer or another SCSI device.
2
If the unit is the last device on the SCSI daisy chain, connect the supplied
terminator to one of the SCSI connecters as illustrated below.
3
Connect the AC power cord to the AC IN connector on the unit.
You can use a 68-signal conductor, flat cable or a 34-signal twisted cable as the
LVD/SE cable. To achieve a high transfer rate, the total length of SCSI cables
should not exceed 6 m in a SE configuration. In a LVD SCSI configuration, the
cables should not exceed 12 m.
If the unit is the last device on the SCSI daisy chain, be sure to connect the
supplied terminator or a separately purchased terminator because the unit has no
internal terminator. The unit will not operate properly unless you use the
appropriate terminator.
Note
If you use a terminator other than the one supplied with the unit, be sure to only
use a terminator that conforms to SPI3:ANSI NCITS:336:2000.
