BI-0316
This setup connects the BI-0316 to a 16-bit (WIDE) bus at the front and a 8-bit bus at the rear of the
module. Note that the upper byte signals must be terminated on the 16-bit to 8-bit adapter. This is
achieved by the on-board terminators of the BI-0318 module. These terminators are capable of termi-
nating Single-Ended as well as Differential SCSI buses.

SCSI Bus Backplane Connection Options

At the backplane different connection options are available:
Option I: using a transition module on the VMEbus P2 connector
•
Option II: using a flat cable connection on the VMEbus P2 connector
•
• Option III: using a special backplane layout to the VMEbus P2 connector
All three options can be used for 8-bit and 16-bit solutions in Single-Ended and Differential configura-
tions.
2.6.1

Option I. Transition Module

This is the most common and versatile option. It gives the capability to connect 8-bit and 16-bit cables
to the BI-0316. It gives also the capability to connect external terminators.
