Figure B-1 Maximum SCSI Bus Length
Table B-1 lists the internal and external cable lengths for the DDP and most of
the supported desktop systems and servers.
Note – When connecting the DDP to your system, find the total SCSI bus
length for your configuration. To do this, add the length of the internal bus
lengths of each device of the system to the length of the external SCSI cable,
which can measure either 0.8, 2, or 4 meters in length. The total length must be
less than 20 feet (6 meters).
