ft) maximum. This three-meter length includes both internal SCSI cables (inside the Dock I or external SCSI device) as well as external SCSI cables (outside the Dock I or external SCSI device).

The following table shows the SCSI cable length for the Dock I, IBM storage enclosures, and SCSI cables.

Cable

Length

 

 

Dock I Model 001 (internal cable)

0.2 m (0.7 ft)

 

 

SCSI Storage Enclosure, Model 3510 (internal cable)

0.3 m (1.0 ft)

 

 

External Storage Enclosure For SCSI Devices, Model 3511 (internal cable)

1.2 m (3.9 ft)

 

 

SCSI Card To Option Cable (60 to 50-pin external cable)

1.2 m (3.9 ft)

 

 

SCSI Option To Option Cable (50 to 50-pin external cable)

0.6 m (2.0 ft)

 

 

Example:

If you plan to install an SCSI device and two SCSI Storage Enclosures (Model 3510) to your Dock I, a total cable length of 2.6 m satisfies the specification (no more than three meters).
