ADIC FCR 200 manual Scsi Connection

SCSI Connection

The FCR200 supports Fast/Ultra Wide SCSI. The FCR200 is factory configured to support either a Single-Ended or Differential SCSI bus. Four 68-pin D-shell connectors are located on the rear panel of the unit, allowing the unit to be attached in the middle or at the end of a SCSI bus. If the FCR200 is located at one end of the SCSI bus, an external terminator should be installed. Two terminators are provided with the FCR200.

Single-Ended SCSI support is indicated by this symbol on the rear of the FCR200.

Differential SCSI support is indicated by this symbol on the rear of the FCR200.

The FCR200 supplies termination power (TERMPWR) on each SCSI bus. A self-resetting fuse is used that will reset after the fault is cleared.

To connect the FCR200 to a SCSI bus:

1Power off your SCSI devices.

2Connect a SCSI cable to one of the SCSI connectors on the back of the router. If necessary, use a narrow- to-wide adapter.

3Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the next SCSI device on the bus.

4If the FCR200 is at the end of the SCSI bus, place the terminator provided with the router on the FCR200’s other SCSI connector on the same bus. If the router is not at the end of the bus, attach a second SCSI cable to the other SCSI connector. Use a narrow-to-wide adapter, if necessary. Connect this cable to the next device on the bus.
