  • Page 24: Configuring The Scsi Bus

    Configuring the SCSI Bus Some basic SCSI principles must be applied to correctly configure the SCSI bus on your system. Termination Most difficulties with the SCSI bus can be traced to improper termination and cabling. The SCSI bus must be terminated at both ends, and only at the ends. Configure the termination on your IntraServer CompactPCI the configuration information in the preceding chapter.

  • Page 26: Scsi Ids

    SCSI IDs Each device and host adapter on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. It is recommended that the host adapter be left at its default ID of 7. Should it be necessary for the host adapter ID to be changed, use the OBP setenv command to change the scsi-initiator-id from 7 to the desired value.
  • Page 27: Cabling Scsi Devices

    All IntraServer CompactPCI SCSI channel. Devices can be connected internally, externally or a combination of internally and externally. For FAST SCSI operation, it is recommended that the total bus (cable) length from end to end be kept to 3 meters. For Ultra2 SCSI running in Low Voltage Differential (LVD) mode, the cable must be kept within 12 meters for multidrop connections or 25 meters point to point.

    Attaching SE (non-Ultra2/LVD) Devices The IntraServer internal cable (50-401030) can also be used to attach internal Single Ended (SE) disks to the ITI-8241C-R rear I/O module. Note that placing any non-LVD drives on a bus will cause the entire bus to run in Single Ended mode, and reduce the maximum I/O throughput from 80MB/sec to 40MB/sec.
