Connecting Scsi Devices - HP D5970A - NetServer - LCII Installation And Configuration Manual

Connecting SCSI Devices

You can connect up to 15 SCSI devices to the HP Ultra3 SCSI host bus adapter.
Before connecting devices, be sure to review Setting Up SCSI Devices on
page 5.
Connecting the SCSI Host Adapter to the Common Tray
Connect internal Ultra3 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the internal LVD/SE
connector on the HP Ultra3 SCSI host bus adapter. To do this, see Table 1-1 to
determine the correct cable for your HP Netserver. Follow these steps to
connect the devices:
NOTE We recommend that you keep your Ultra3 and Ultra2 SCSI devices
separate from your Ultra SCSI devices. This allows the newer Ultra3
and Ultra2 SCSI devices to transfer data at their maximum speed.
(See Bus Segments on the HP Ultra3 SCSI Host Adapter on page 2.)
1. Use a terminated twisted-pair SCSI cable.
2. Plug the non-terminated end of the twisted-pair cable to the internal LVD/SE
connector.
