SCSI Restrictions

This section describes the SCSI restrictions that apply to your workstation in
the following areas:
•

Cables

• Connectors and Terminator
• SCSI configuration constraints
Cables
All SCSI devices ship without cables. Only SCSI cables approved by HP
can be used to connect your workstation and any SCSI devices. HP offers
the following SCSI cables for externally connected SE SCSI devices:
• K2296 cable with 0.9 meter (3 feet) length
• K2297 cable with 1.5 meter (5 feet) length
HP offers the following SCSI cables for externally connected FW SCSI
devices:
• C2911A cable with 0.9 meter (3 feet) length
• C2924A cable with 2.5 meter (8.2 feet) length
• C2925A cable with 10.0 meter (32.8 feet) length
• C2926A cable with 20.0 meter (65.6 feet) length
SCSI cables approved by HP are designed to function within the SCSI tolerances for
HP devices. Use of other cables can result in significant problems with system
operation.
The SE SCSI definition limits the total cable length of SE SCSI cables to 6
meters (19.6 feet).
The FW SCSI definition limits the total cable length of FW SCSI cables to
25 meters (82 feet).
Always use the shortest possible cable(s) for your configuration.
