2.2.4 Connecting SCSI Peripherals

All internal SCSI bus connections to the LSI20160 can be made with an unshielded, 68-conductor ribbon cable (see Figure 2.3). One side of this cable is marked with a color to indicate the pin-1 side. The connectors on this cable are keyed to ensure proper pin-1 connection. Some internal cables come with an LVD/SE terminator on one end. This end should be furthest from the host adapter.

All external SCSI bus connections to the LSI20160 are made with shielded, 68-conductor cables (see Figure 2.3). The connectors on this cable are always keyed to ensure proper pin-1 connection.
