SCSI Configuration Rules
Table 4-4 shows the amount of internal SCSI cabling in the systems. It also shows the
resulting maximum external SCSI cable that can be attached to the system Multifunction I/0
PCA.
Table 4-5 lists the specifications of the SCSI bus.
Figure 4-3 is an example of internal SCSI cabling and configuration. The last peripheral
on the internal bus always has termination for the internal SCSI bus. A separate SCSI
terminator is added to the end of the SCSI internal bus in a diskless system.
Figure 4-4 shows a typical external SCSI device rear panel. It shows the location of the
address and parity switches.
Figure 4-5 is an example of external SCSI cabling and configuration.

A high-to-low density SCSI cable is required to connect external peripherals
to the Multifunction I/ 0 card. Refer to Table 8-1 for the correct part number.
