SCSI Cable Connectors

To help identify the SCSI cables required for a Smart Array 3200 Controller installation in the various configurations of Compaq servers, refer to Figure D-2. Keep in mind these characteristics of SCSI cables:

■External SCSI cables have a round wire with securable connectors.

■Internal SCSI cables have a flat ribbon wire with push-on connectors.

■Compaq SCSI cables are keyed so that they cannot be installed incorrectly.

■Fast-Wide SCSI-2 and Wide-Ultra SCSI (Wide SCSI) internal ribbon cables are physically narrower than Fast-SCSI-2 (standard SCSI) cables.

External Wide SCSI 68-Pin

Internal Wide SCSI 68-Pin

External VHDCI

External Standard SCSI 50-Pin
