MX-2424 with internal hard drive removed/disconnected and four hard drives connected externally in 68-pin cases.

SCSI Cable Length

The total cable length of a SCSI chain includes the internal cabling in the MX-2424 itself, all carriers and

drive bays connected and the cable used to connect between any external drive cases. The MX-2424

supports a maximum cable length of 6 feet. This maximum length, however, is dependent on the

quality of the SCSI cables in a chain.

The MX-2424 is capable of supporting up to seven SCSI device IDs. However, the total number of SCSI

devices is dependent on a number of factors. The MX-2424 will function reliably with up to a maximum

of four SCSI devices connected at one time as shown in the preceding diagrams.

*The MX-2424 has its own SCSI ID assigned to it. The Max Number of SCSI Devices refers to internal devices, external devices

and the MX-2424 itself. The internal drive in the MX-2424 is assigned at the factory to use ID 0.

Note: A different SCSI ID number (1-6 on a device connected externally or in the front bay of the MX-2424)

must be assigned to each device. Improper ID setting will cause the MX-2424 to freeze while mounting devices.

Please refer to drive documentation for directions on setting the device ID.
