Installing the A5150A Adapter

Connecting the SCSI Peripherals

Connecting the SCSI Peripherals

All external SCSI bus connections to the A5150A host bus adapter are made with shielded, 68-conductor cables. The connectors on this cable are always keyed to ensure proper mating.

Some internal cables come with 16bit SE/LVD on one end. This end should be farthest from the host bus adapter.

Making External SCSI Bus Connections

Step 1. To connect external SCSI devices to the A5150A host bus adapter, plug the 68-pin VHDCI connector on one end of a shielded external high density SCSI cable into the host bus adapter connector J2 or J3.

This connector is now bracketed onto the back panel of the system.

Step 2. Plug the 68-pin connector on the other end of the shielded external SCSI cable into the SCSI connector on your external SCSI device.
