Step 5: Attaching the cables
Ÿ
Drives with 68 pin connectors
After the drive has been carefully mounted, connect the SCSI cable and the power cable to the drive. The
SCSI connector and power connector are keyed for proper insertion.
Ÿ
Drives with 80 pin connectors
80 pin drives are plugged into backplanes of servers and require no cables. If you want to connect an 80
pin drive to a 68 pin SCSI cable, a converter is needed. Not all SCA converters support LVD mode.
Step 6: Completing physical installation
Ÿ
The SCSI bus must
be terminated at both ends of the bus since Ultra2 SCSI (LVD) models do not
have onboard active termination. You must supply an external Ultra2 compatible terminator.
