SCSI Bus Interface
• The maximum cable length allowed is 6 meters (20 feet).
The length of the cable located within the FCC compliant
subsystem cabinet (that contains the MD21 Controller) is
included when calculating the total length of the SCSI bus.
The SCSI cable that connects the compliant subsystem cabinet
(that contains the MD21 Controller) to the host system must
be shielded and properly grounded.
To support daisy-chain connections, SCSI devices that use shielded
connectors should provide two shielded device connectors on the
compliant subsystem cabinet.
These two connectors may be wired
one-to-one, with a stub going to the SCSI device's drivers and
receivers (provided the maximum stub length specified in subsection
7.2.1.1 is not exceeded). Alternatively, two cables may be run
from two shielded connectors to the drivers and receivers so that
the maximum stub length is not exceeded.
7.2.1.1 Internal Cable Requirements
If the MD21 Controller and the SCSI host adapter reside in the same
compliant cabinet, you must use a 50-conductor flat-ribbon cable or
a 25-twisted-pair flat cable to connect the MD21 Controller and
SCSI host adapter. The maximum cumulative cable length is 6
meters.
Each SCSI bus connection should have a stub length (the
length of the cable beyond the terminator) of no more than 10
centimeters (4 inches).
For information on SCSI bus termination,
see subsection 5.3.3.
7,2.1.2 Shielded Cable Requirements
If the MD21 Controller and SCSI host adapter do not reside in the
same compliant subsystem, then a shielded SCSI cable must be used
to connect the MD21 Controller and the host adapter. The connector
for the SCSI bus shielded cable is a 50-pin connector, designated
J6, that contains two rows of 25 female contacts on 100 mil
centers.
The connector shielding system must provide a direct
current (DC) resistance of less than 10 milliohms from the cable
shield at its termination point to the compliant subsystem cabinet.
For information on FCC compliance, see subsection 5.6.
