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.
