Cabling Requirements



Cabling Requirements

Before you install external SCSI devices, you must have the correct external SCSI cables. See 'Table 4' for information on cable lengths.

The cables must have the proper connector for the SCSI-2 adapter on one end, and the proper connector for the first external device on the other end.

The SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI-Bus adapter can support a total of 15 devices and the SCSI-2 PCI-Bus RAID adapter can support a total of 14 devices, provided that you do not exceed the maximum cable lengths listed in 'Table 4'

If you are using a SCSI data transfer rate greater than 5MB per second, the maximum length of the SCSI bus (cable) must not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet). If you are using a SCSI data transfer rate of 5MB per second or slower, the maximum length of the SCSI bus cable must not exceed 6 meters (19.7 feet). These lengths apply to the combined lengths of the internal and external cables. Adhering to these standards ensures that the server operates properly.
