SCSI Cable Connectors
To help identify the SCSI cables required for ProLiant 5500 and 5500R server
installation, refer to the following illustrations. Keep in mind these
characteristics:
■
All Compaq ProLiant 5500 and 5500R SCSI connectors are Wide-Ultra
68-pin connectors.
■
External SCSI cables have a round wire with securable connectors.
■
Internal SCSI cables have a flat ribbon wire with push-on connectors.
■
Compaq SCSI cables are keyed so that they cannot be installed
incorrectly.
■
Fast-Wide SCSI-2 (wide SCSI) internal ribbon cables are physically
smaller (narrower) than the Fast-SCSI-2 (standard SCSI) cables.
