SCSI Cable Information

The intended use of the external SCSI connector is to connect Low-Voltage Differential SCSI devices to your Personal Workstation. This section provides you with SCSI cable information that is important for the correct operation of your external SCSI device.

The total length of the external SCSI cable should not exceed 10 meters (approximately 32.81 feet) and there must be at least eight inches of cable separating each device.

Contact you dealer to order shielded HP SCSI cables to connect external SCSI accessories.

Low-voltage differential SCSI is very sensitive to noise, and therefore, all cables on the SCSI bus must be exceptionally high quality cables. Examples of these are given in the following table.

Please make sure that any external hard disk enclosures are rated for low-voltage differential SCSI use.
