Daisy chaining
If you have multiple SCSI devices to connect up, you can connect (daisy chain) other SCSI devices as
shown. At the back of the Huge Media Vault you will have at the SCSI IN connectors SCSI cables
connected to your host computer, and at the SCSI OUT connectors SCSI cables connected to your other
SCSI devices.
Keep in mind that all connected SCSI devices must be rated at and configured to run at Ultra160 for
maximum data transfer, mixing slower devices such as Ultra2, Ultra Wide, narrow SCSI, etc… will reduce
the data transfer rate to the slowest device on the SCSI channel.
Please ensure that 1) the total SCSI cable length are kept as short as possible (Maximum 12 meters); 2)
remember to use a terminator at the end device of each SCSI chain; 3) No duplicated or SCSI ID conflict
on any particular SCSI channel.
