4. Enable termination power on all SCSI drives connected to the
controller. See the documentation that comes with your drives for
instructions on how to do this.
Figure 5. Internal SCSI Configuration and Termination
5. Set the SCSI ID for each external disk drive to a unique address
between 0 and 15, but do not use address 7 (reserved for the controller).
Do not duplicate SCSI IDs used by internal drives designated for the
same channel. For information on how to set SCSI IDs, refer to the disk
drive documentation.
If you are using an external SCSI cabinet, see the Caution note above.
6. Connect a wide, high-density, 68-pin SCSI ribbon cable to the internal
SCSI connector on the eXtremeRAID 3000 controller and connect the
other cable connectors to any SCSI devices as required (see Figure 5).
eXtremeRAID 3000 always has the on-board SCSI termination
enabled.
7. Connect an active terminator to the end of the SCSI ribbon cable at the
end farthest from the controller (see Figure 5).
External drive cabinets usually have termination built into the end of
the SCSI bus. Check the documentation that comes with your drive
cabinet to be sure this is the case. If not, use an active terminator at the
end of the bus.
