Brand Innovators
This setup connects the BI-0316 to a 16-bit (WIDE) bus at the front and a 8-bit bus at the rear of the
module. Note that the upper byte signals must be terminated on the 16-bit to 8-bit adapter. This is
achieved by the on-board terminators of the BI-0318 module. These terminators are capable of termi-
nating Single-Ended as well as Differential SCSI buses.
See also “Mixing Buses Having Different Widths” on page 3-3.

SCSI Bus Backplane Connection Options
At the backplane different connection options are available:
•
Option I:
using a transition module on the VMEbus P2 connector
•
Option II:
using a flat cable connection on the VMEbus P2 connector
•
Option III:
using a special backplane layout to the VMEbus P2 connector
All three options can be used for 8-bit and 16-bit solutions in Single-Ended and Differential configura-
tions.
2.6.1
Option I. Transition Module
This is the most common and versatile option. It gives the capability to connect 8-bit and 16-bit cables
to the BI-0316. It gives also the capability to connect external terminators.
