Connecting the Unit

Connecting the BW-RS101

You can connect the unit to one host computer through a SCSI bus that has up to 15 devices connected in a daisy chain.

Note

Before connecting the unit, make sure to turn off the unit and all the other devices on the SCSI chain.

1 Connect a SCSI cable to the SCSI connecter of the unit to connecting a host computer or another SCSI device.

2 If the unit is the last device on the SCSI daisy chain, connect the supplied terminator to one of the SCSI connecters as illustrated below.

3 Connect the AC power cord to the AC IN connector on the unit.

SCSI Cables

You can use a 68-signal conductor, flat cable or a 34-signal twisted cable as the LVD/SE cable. To achieve a high transfer rate, the total length of SCSI cables should not exceed 6 m in a SE configuration. In a LVD SCSI configuration, the cables should not exceed 12 m.

SCSI Terminator

If the unit is the last device on the SCSI daisy chain, be sure to connect the supplied terminator or a separately purchased terminator because the unit has no internal terminator. The unit will not operate properly unless you use the appropriate terminator.

Note

If you use a terminator other than the one supplied with the unit, be sure to only use a terminator that conforms to SPI3:ANSI NCITS:336:2000.
