AP2300 Hardware Reference Guide

The SCSI backplane of this server is comprised of one SCSI board (DA-
BP5E) with Ultra2 SCSI connectors, power inputs, and SCSI ID DIP
switches. This configuration allows Ultra2 SCSI SCA hard disk drives to be
docked into the server. The SCSI board (DA-BP5E) does not have auto
termination, therefore the included terminator block must be used on the
end connector.
