Appendix
1 Connect the cable from the SCSI device to a
VHDCI SCSI port on the FastStream VT 5300.
2 Check the type of cable, cable length limit and
number of devices recommended for the port.
See Exhibit A-1.
Keep cable lengths as short as possible to
ensure the highest signal quality and
performance. These cable lengths include the
wiring inside the devices.
3 Set the IDs of the SCSI devices connected to
the FastStream to a value other than 7.
Use a sequential ID starting at 0 for each
device. The SCSI port has an internal factory
setting ID of 7, typical for a SCSI initiator
device.
4 Terminate the SCSI bus after the last device.
The FastStream VT 5300 is terminated
internally.
Fibre Channel connections
The Fibre Channel port connects the FastStream
VT 5300 into either a Fabric or Arbitrated Loop.
The FastStream VT 5300 uses optical SFP
connectors and multimode fiber optic cable.
Make sure all cables are anchored securely at both
ends with the proper connectors. Use the shortest
possible cable length for best performance.
