SCSI Cables

The maximum SCSI bus length is 12 meters (472 inches). Exceeding this length can
cause SCSI or data errors. When calculating the maximum SCSI bus length in a
particular configuration, remember to include the internal SCSI bus of each Sun
StorEdge D2 device, which is 0.1 meter.
Note – For the most recent listing of supported SCSI cables, sizes, and part
numbers, refer to the Sun StorEdge D2 Array Release Notes.
