SCSI Buses
SCSI Buses
A SCSI bus expansion port on the rear of the system enables you
to extend the bus that runs through the removable-media mass
storage compartment outside the system. As a result, you can
connect external mass storage devices to the buses inside the
system.
A Fast SCSI-2 adapter on the I/O backplane provides a
single-ended SCSI bus for the system.
All tabletop or rackmounted SCSI-2 devices are supported via
EISA- or PCI-based SCSI adapters. Use the following rules to
determine if a device can be used on your system:
•
The device must be supported by the operating system.
Consult the software product description or hardware vendor.
•
No more than seven devices can be on any one SCSI-2
controller, and each must have a unique SCSI ID.
•
The entire SCSI bus length, from terminator to terminator,
must not exceed 6 meters for single-ended SCSI-2 at 5
MB/sec, or 3 meters for single-ended SCSI-2 at 10 MB/sec.
For AlphaServer 2000 systems, the internal cabling for the
removable media bus is 2.6 meters.
