Installing the A4800A Adapter

Connecting SCSI Peripheral Devices

You can connect up to four devices if they are evenly spaced on a 3 m Ultra SCSI cable (0.75 m between devices). The single-ended SCSI bus must not exceed 3 m (total internal and external cable lengths) even with fewer than four devices.

Table 2-4 below shows the maximum bus length for each of the SCSI types.
