SBus SCSI Cards

There are two I/O boards on which SBus I/O interface cards can be added: The
SBus+ I/O board and the Graphics+ I/O board. Table C-5 shows the SCSI cabling
length for SCSI cards.

SCSI Termination

The I/O+ board in slot 1 of any Enterprise server must be terminated. This slot
connects to the internal DVD-ROM drive and optional tape drive.
The SCSI bus on an I/O+ board in any other slot must be terminated only if SCSI
devices are connected to that board.
C.5

Fiber Cable Length

Use a 2-meter cable to ensure that the 1.0 inch minimum bend radius rule for fiber
optic cables is observed.
The interface board, together with interconnecting fiber optic cabling, provides four
independent FC-AL loops between the host I/O+ board and the internal fiber optic
disks.
