2.8 Connecting External SCSI Devices
External SCSI-2 devices connect to your system through the built-in single-
ended Fast/Wide SCSI-2 port on I/O boards (except for the board in slot 1), or
through FSBE/S, DSBE/S, SWIS/S, or DWIS/S SBus cards installed on I/O
boards.
Note The onboard SCSI-2 bus on the I/O board in slot 1 controls internal
SCSI tray devices. Therefore, the external SCSI connector on the I/O board in
slot 1 must always have a terminator installed.
Note The maximum combined length for a string of SCSI cables is six meters
for non-differential cables. For differential SCSI cables, the maximum is 25
meters.
When calculating the total length of a SCSI string, include external cables,
internal cables, and printed traces. Table 2-2 lists internal measurements for the
Enterprise servers.
