SCSI Drives
The server supports
small computer system interface
(SCSI) drives. You can attach multiple SCSI drives to the
two Ultra SCSI connectors on the system board, which
share the same Ultra SCSI bus.
The SCSI controller on the system board can support up to
6 internal SCSI devices and 1 external SCSI device.
If you install additional SCSI devices, you must set a
unique identification (ID) for each SCSI device that you
connect to the Ultra SCSI connector, so that the Ultra
SCSI adapter can identify the devices and ensure that
different devices do not attempt to transfer data at the
same time.
Note
Any information about SCSI drives also applies to
other SCSI devices, such as scanners and backup
tape drives.
Setting SCSI IDs:
The PC Server 325 Type 8639 supports SCSI IDs 0 to 15.
ID 7 is reserved for the Ultra SCSI controller. The
scanning sequence for preinstalled SCSI devices proceeds
from the lowest SCSI ID to the highest, starting with 0.
For 16-bit devices, set the IDs to any unused number
between 8 and 15. For 8-bit devices, set the IDs to any
unused number between 0 and 6.
The preinstalled SCSI CD-ROM drive is shipped with the
SCSI ID set to 3. If the server is shipped with a SCSI hard
disk, it's SCSI ID will be set to 6.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the SCSI devices for
information about setting a SCSI ID.
Termination Requirements:
Both ends of the SCSI cable must be terminated. Install
SCSI devices starting at the ends of the internal and
external SCSI cables. The SCSI device, at the end of the
SCSI cable, should be terminated, otherwise a special
connector, called a terminator, must be used to terminate
the end of the SCSI cable.
If you have only internal SCSI devices connected to the
internal SCSI connector
and the bulkhead cable has not
been installed, the SCSI controller becomes the
termination for the external SCSI connector.
If internal SCSI devices are attached to the SCSI
controller, the last internal device on the bus (cable) must
be terminated, and the termination must be disabled on the
other devices connected to the SCSI connector. The SCSI
bus on the system board is already terminated.
