PRINTER NOTE: Page size 9” x 9.25”. Align this page to top, right hand corner. Back box bleeds off
top and right edge. Left side of page extends to 9.25 inches.
Note: Shielded data cables, such as those provided
with the subsystem, must be used to prevent radio
frequency interference. It is recommended that you use
the cables provided with your system. These cables
have been tested and meet stringent guidelines set
forth by the SCSI-3 ANSI specifications.
Guidelines
Before installation, you will need to consider the
following:
Identify which DEU subsystem will be the “master”
subsystem and which will be the “slave”
subsystem(s). The Differential Converter and Ultra
Extender cards install differently for each
configuration.
Determine which mode the DEU will be configured.
This includes the type of host controller (RAID
Controller – single-ended or SCSI host adapter –
differential). Also the number of controllers
(adapters) that will be used in the host system.
Determine the number subsystems that will be used
per controller (adapter). Each section provides
diagrams for the supported configurations using the
minimum number of controller channels.
Maximizing the channels per subsystem may be
accomplished by mixing supported configuration
with available channels.
