Introducing the 16-Bit UltraSCSI Hub
This chapter gives a brief physical description and describes the functions and functional
specifications of the DWZZH-S5 and DWZZH-09 UltraSCSI Hubs.
The series of DWZZH Hubs are SCSI–2 and draft SCSI–3 (ANSI X379.2/91–
10R3) compliant capable with data transfer rates of up to 40 Mbytes per second.
The two versions of these Hubs are:
DWZZH-S5: A shelf-contained, rack-mountable, 5.25" SBB (large) Hub
with four host ports and one storage port, all differential. See Figure 1–1.
DWZZH-09: A shelf-contained, rack-mountable Hub consisting of two
5.25" SBBs (large) with eight host ports and one storage port, all
differential. See Figure 1–2.

UltraSCSI Hub Features
Most device SCSI buses are either 8-bit or 16-bit single-ended, physical buses.
Some controllers and hosts use differential buses and others use a single-ended
bus. Single-ended and differential physical buses are not compatible. The
UltraSCSI protocol disables both buses when they are connected together. By
using an UltraSCSI Hub you can accomplish the following:
Provide radial disconnect where remaining connections can continue to
operate.
Provide fair SCSI arbitration for host nodes (DWZZH-05, -S5 and the -09
UltraSCSI Hubs only).
