Connecting SCSI Accessories
NOTE The total length of the external SCSI cable should not exceed 10 meters
(approximately 32 feet) and there must be at least eight inches of cable
separating each device.
Contact you dealer to order shielded HP SCSI cables to connect external
SCSI accessories.
CAUTION Low-voltage differential SCSI is very sensitive to noise, and therefore, all
cables on the SCSI bus must be exceptionally high quality cables.
Examples of these are given in Table 1-4.
Please make sure that any external hard disk enclosures are rated for
low-voltage differential SCSI use.
