AAA-131CA Installation and Hardware Guide

Connecting SCSI Devices

The AAA-131CA adapter supports both internal and external SCSI
devices. Up to 15 SCSI devices can be supported on each SCSI chan-
nel—either 16-bit devices alone or a combination of 16-bit and up to
seven 8-bit devices.

Note:

If you are installing your SCSI devices inside an exter-

nal array enclosure, see Connecting External SCSI Array
Enclosures (Storage Subsystems) on page 2-11.

Choosing SCSI Cables

To connect your SCSI devices, make sure you have the appropriate
cable and connectors as described in the following table (see Installa-
tion Hints for Connecting SCSI Devices on page 2-12 as well as Appen-
dix D, Obtaining SCSI Cables and Converters for additional information
on cabling SCSI devices):

1

Use only high-quality external cables with a single-ended impedance range of 80-110 ohms.
