SCSI Guidelines for Optimizing Performance
■
To maintain Ultra speeds, do not install more than four SCSI devices on
each channel.
■
For best performance, do not mix Wide-Ultra or Wide-Ultra2 and narrow
SCSI devices on either the same SCSI cable or the same channel.
■
Use Channel 2 of the Integrated Dual Wide-Ultra SCSI controller for
narrow devices. This allows Wide-Ultra devices to be connected to
Channel 1 and Wide-Ultra2 devices to be connected to the Wide-Ultra2
SCSI controller.
For additional information about optional SCSI devices, refer to the
documentation included with the device or contact your Compaq authorized
dealer, reseller, or service provider.
