Two-backplane configuration
In a two-backplane configuration:
• the upper SCSI interface of the first backplane connects to the SCSI card
• the lower SCSI interface connects to the upper SCSI interface of the
second backplane
• a SCSI multi-mode terminator (LVD/SE) is placed on the lower SCSI
interface of the second backplane
