Maximum Cable Lengths
The total length of cabling (internal and external) on the SCSI bus cannot exceed the maximum lengths listed in the following table. The third column lists the maximum number of SCSI devices you can connect to the SCSI card.

1Mixing Fast/Ultra devices with Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices causes the entire SCSI bus to default to Ultra SCSI speeds and cable length requirements.
2Ultra SCSI data transfer rates do not currently support more than seven devices connected to the SCSI card.
