2.2 SCSI Bus Connections
The SCSI bus on the iSCSI Bridge is capable of running at speeds of up to 160 Mbytes/s,
however, devices that operate at slower speeds can still be connected to this SCSI bus. In a
manner similar to the Ethernet connection, the iSCSI Bridge will automatically negotiate with
these devices to obtain their optimal operating speed upon power up.
When adding your SCSI peripherals to the SCSI bus it is important to remember that every
device on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID and that SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the
iSCSI Bridge.
The iSCSI Bridge can support both Single Ended and LVD peripherals. However, it should be
noted that the two buses will have different data transfer speeds and cable length limitations:
•
Single Ended termination and/or devices
– 2 meters length – (40 MB/s maximum)
•
LVD termination and/or devices
– 6 meters length – variable speeds up to a
maximum of 160 MB/s.
If you are in any doubt, please contact your reseller for further assistance.
Connect the SCSI cable to the front of the iSCSI Bridge as shown below, ensuring that
connector is the correct way up.
Connecting the SCSI Cable to the Bridge SCSI Port
Note: The two securing screws on either side of the connector should ONLY
BE FINGER TIGHT.
