Scsi Cables To Devices In Other Cabinets - Compaq AlphaServer GS60E Installation Manual

Multiple SCSI configurations are possible both inside system and expander
cabinets and outside either cabinet. Manufacturing connects all SCSI devices it
can in both system and expander cabinets. There is space in both cabinets to
pass cables from front to back (see Figure 5-5). You can assume that loose SCSI
cables provided with a system go from device adapters in the system cabinet to
devices in another cabinet.
The following rules apply:
1. All SCSI buses must be terminated at both ends. The terminators for the
GS60E are the H879 or H8663.
2. All cables exit and enter cabinets at the bottom rear.
3. Signal cables should be routed away from power cables on the right rear
frame.
Table 5-1 lists SCSI cables used in GS60E systems to connect devices outside
the system cabinet with their adapters.
