About SCSI cable

•The CRW2200SX drive requires a D-sub half-pitch 50-pin pin-type connector. The connector of the SCSI card may vary. You will need to purchase a SCSI cable with connectors suitable for both the drive and the SCSI card. The following are the most common types of SCSI connector:

D-sub half-pitch 50-pin pin-type (as found on the CRW2200SX drive)

Half-pitch 50-pin Centronics

•The total of the length of SCSI cable you will need depends on the number of devices to connect.

4 to 7 devices

1.5 m or less

 

 

Note

For stable operations, use the recommended length of SCSI cable.
