    SCSI cable with a maximum length of 0.8 meter (32 inches). When SCSI-3 and SCSI- 2 devices are connected to the Ultra 30 system SCSI bus, the system enables each device to operate at its respective data transfer rate. The last external SCSI device in a daisy-chain must be terminated internally (active termination) or with an external terminator according to Forced-Perfect Termination (FPT) technology.

  • Page 25: Scsi-2 (Fast Wide Scsi) External Devices

    (WideUltra) 1. The maximum number of single-ended/differential SCSI devices is 16. 2. The effective internal SCSI bus length of the Ultra 30 system unit is 0.9 meter. 3. Verify the cable type used to connect external SCSI devices. You must use Fast-20 SCSI cable(s).
  • Page 26 If external mass storage devices consist of 68-pin Sun devices and 50-pin devices, connect the Sun 68-pin devices to the Ultra 30 system first and terminate the daisy chain with the 50-pin device and its terminator. The total SCSI bus length for all SCSI devices (internal and external) is 6.0 meters (19.7 feet).
