Appendix C. Connecting SCSI Devices to the Adapter This appendix describes how to lay out a SCSI chain, set SCSI addresses, and terminate SCSI devices and the adapter. SCSI devices are attached to a SCSI adapter in a chain. Devices in a chain can be internal (inside your system unit) or external (connected outside your system unit).
Page 46
Internal Low-Voltage Differential Connection Terminators are built into the adapter and the backplane. Adapter Backplane Terminator Concurrent External Single-Ended Connection and Low-Voltage Differential Connection on the Same Adapter A converter cable may be used to attach VHDCI connectors on the adapter and P-shell connector on external cables.
Setting SCSI Addresses Each SCSI device requires a different SCSI address. The address is a number from 6 through 0 for 8-bit devices, or from 6 through 0 and 15 through 8 for 16-bit devices. If two SCSI devices have the same address, your system will not function correctly.
