Connecting the SCSI Cable
1-14 Mass Storage System
One or more mass storage systems can be connected to
the host computer via SCSI interface cables plugged into
the SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the drive. Before
connecting the mass storage system to the host computer,
ensure that the cabling conforms with the following SCSI
cabling standards.
The SCSI bus allows a maximum of eight devices,
including the host computer system. Since your mass
storage system can contain from one
to
four SCSI
devices, you must make sure you know the number of
SCSI devices within your mass storage system before
connecting it
to
the system bus, since it is possible that
two fully loaded mass storage systems could exceed the
SCSI device limit.
The maximum length of the SCSI cables when totaled
must not exceed six meters. In addition to the cables
between the host computer and the mass storage
system(s), each mass storage system contains l.5 meters
of internal SCSI cabling. This dimension must be
included in maximum cable length calculations.
The last mass storage system on the bus must have a
SCSI terminator (part number 1252-2297) fitted on its
unused SCSI connector. A SCSI terminator is supplied
with the host computer SCSI interface.
1. Check that power to the host computer and the mass
storage system has been disconnected.
2. Connect the SCSI cable from the host computer to
either of the two SCSI connectors
(1)
on the rear panel
of the mass storage system. Ensure that the connector
retaining clips are locked in place.
3. Connect the next SCSI device or the SCSI terminator to
the other SCSI connector on the mass storage system.
