The devices that are to be attached to the SCSI ports must be set up in the
immediate vicinity of the system unit as there is a limit on the length of the cable
connections. The maximum overall length for SCSI connecting cables routed
outside the system unit housing is two meters for single-ended SCSI connections
and 15 meters for differential SCSI connections.
Further information is given in the operating manual for the peripherals box.
The SCSI port (external) is intended for single-ended SCSI devices, while the
optional SCSI ports are for any additional SCSI devices associated with controllers
which have been installed in the expansion slots.
The following SCSI controllers can be installed in the appropriate slots on the
PCI/EISA bus:
