Connecting External SCSI Peripherals

Connecting External SCSI Peripherals

The A6828A adapter is capable of communicating with Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or Single Ended (SE) SCSI devices. LVD allows up to 12m cable lengths with multiple SCSI devices, or 25m point-to-point connections.

As stated earlier in this chapter, do not mix LVD SCSI devices with SE SCSI devices on the bus. If you do so, the entire SCSI bus will change to SE. This will limit the bus performance to Ultra SCSI (40 MB/s).

Make all external SCSI bus connections to the A6828A adapter with shielded, 68-pin LVD cables. The connectors on the cable are always keyed to ensure proper mating.

No cables or external terminators are shipped with the A6828A adapter. Cables are usually shipped with the external SCSI devices, and you can get external terminators for the A6828A HBA by ordering SCSI LVD/SE terminator (HP product number C2370A).
