C-5 This section describes the SCSI restrictions that apply to your work- station in the following areas: • Cables • Connectors and terminator • SCSI configuration constraints Cables All SCSI devices ship without cables. Only SCSI cables approved by HP can be used to connect your workstation and any SCSI devices.
C-6 Singled-ended SCSI-2 definition limits the total cable length of SCSI-2 cables to 6 meters (19.6 feet). Fast, wide SCSI-3 definition limits the total cable length of SCSI-3 cables to 25 meters (82 feet). Always use the shortest possible cable(s) for your configuration.
C-7 Connectors and T erminator Any single-ended standard SCSI-2 device connecting to the system board must use a 50-pin high-density thumb screw connector on the end connecting to the system board, and a 50-pin low-density bail lock connector on the other end.
