DC cable and connector

The drive receives DC power through a 4 pin connector (see Figure 11.6-1 for pin assignment) mounted at the
rear of the main PCB. Recommended part numbers of the mating connector are listed below, but equivalent
parts may be used (see Table 11.6-1).

Physical characteristics

This section defines the connectors, cables, signals, terminators and bus timing needed to implement SCSI.
11.6.2.1 Physical description
The drives may be daisy-chained together or with other compatible SCSI devices using a common cable. Both
ends of the cable must be terminated. The "N" model drive implements single ended drivers and receivers.
The "ND" model drive implements differential drivers and receivers. All signals are common between all SCSI
devices. The drive may be daisy-chained only with SCSI devices having the same type drivers and receivers.
Devices having single ended interface circuits cannot be on the same daisy-chain with devices having
differential interface circuit. A maximum of 8 SCSI devices (including the Host) may be daisy-chained together.
The SCSI Devices at both ends of the daisy-chain are to be terminated. Intermediate SCSI devices shall not
be terminated (see Figure 11.6.3-2). Remove the terminator enable jumper TE on J2 select header ("N"
models), or the external terminators ("ND" models), not the terminator power source selector jumper TP
(Figure 10.1-1).
11.6.2.2 Cable requirements
The maximum total cable length for use with drives having single ended I/O driver and receiver circuits shall
be 6 metres (19.7 ft.) when operating at line data transfer rates of 5 Mbytes/sec or less, and 3 metres (9.85
ft.) when operating at transfer rates greater than 5 Mbytes/sec (FAST SCSI). A stub length of no more than
0.1 metre (0.33 ft.) is allowed off the mainline interconnection with any connected equipment. An ideal
impedance match with cable terminators implies a cable characteristic impedance of 132 ohms. Single ended
I/O cable pin assignments are shown in Table 11.6.3-1.
