AAA-131CA Installation and Hardware Guide
■
If the enclosure you are using for the array drives is not specif-
ically designed as a array enclosure (such as a standard tower
unit), be sure it has adequate cooling and ventilation.
Installation Hints for Connecting SCSI Devices
All SCSI Devices
■
If you are booting your computer from a single SCSI hard disk
drive or bootable array, the boot order (or virtual device order) of
the disk or array must be set to 0.
■
Enable termination power on all SCSI devices in the computer
(or array enclosure) so that if you remove a drive that is sup-
plying termination power other devices will still provide it.
The devices supplying termination power should be located
near the end of the SCSI bus.
■
Symptoms of SCSI cabling-related problems are drives not
being recognized, drives locking up, or drives that deactivate.
■
Use good-quality SCSI cabling, and minimize the stub lengths.
Good-quality cables should not be limp when you pick them up.
The quality of the cable becomes much more critical when you
use higher-speed (that it, UltraSCSI) data transfer rates.
