(connect to adapter)

 

 

 

 

 

To connect external SCSI devices to the A6828A adapter, perform the

 

 

following steps:

Step

1. Plug the 68-pin VHDCI connector on one end of a shielded external high

 

 

density SCSI cable into the adapter’s external connector (J2).

Step

2. Plug the 68-pin HD connector on the other end of the cable into the SCSI

 

 

connector on the external SCSI device.

Step

3. If you need to connect more than one external SCSI device to the adapter,

 

 

daisy chain them together with shielded external SCSI cables.

 

 

If auto termination is disabled and you want to terminate the external

 

 

connector on the HBA, use SCSI LVD/SE terminator (HP product

 

 

number C2370A). For more information on auto termination, see “Auto

 

 

Termination” on page 37.

 

 

When you have finished connecting the external devices, go to the next

 

 

section, “Specifying SCSI Parameters”.
