Scsi Cables And Guidelines - HP Compaq SP750 Maintenance And Service Manual

SCSI Cables and Guidelines

All workstation models use the following three areas for connecting mass storage SCSI devices:
1. Internally with hard drives in the removable hard drive cage
2. Internally with storage devices in the front panel drive bays
3. Externally with external storage devices
The workstation ships standard with a five-device SCSI cable. One end of this cable connects to
the internal Channel 1 and the other end (first device connector) of the cable connects to the
hard drives in the removable hard drive cage. The cable has five connectors to handle up to five
SCSI devices, a maximum of three in the removable hard drive cage and two in the front drive
bay area.
