• Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus Considerations for Selecting SCSI Devices SCSI devices supported by the Hewlett-Packard Company for the Ultra Narrow Single-Ended (NSE) and Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI buses have been qualiﬁed as SCSI devices which meet NSE and LVD speciﬁcations.
Page 87 Hewlett-Packard Company to connect to the Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus on this system. For example, the cabling inside one of these devices in question may not have a differential impedance between 110 and 135 ohms and it may be constructed in a way such that the device has considerable crosstalk on critical signals, such as Reset, Select and Busy.
Page 88: Scsi Bus Length Constraints
SCSI Connections SCSI Bus Length Constraints SCSI Bus Length Constraints This section discusses SCSI bus length constraints for the Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI bus and the Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus. Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI Bus Length The maximum cable length for an Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI bus is 3 meters.
Page 89: Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential Scsi Bus Length
SCSI Connections SCSI Bus Length Constraints Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI Bus Length The maximum cable length for an Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus is 12 meters. The HP V B1000/C3000 system uses 1 ISUALIZE meter of this maximum cable length internally. This means that up to 11 meters of cable can be used for connecting external Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI devices to this workstation.
