UltraSCSI Buses

The pedestal contains two, 16-bit, single-ended, wide UltraSCSI buses
(factory-configured as a split bus) that connects the controllers to the disk
drives.

The split-bus arrangement is divided into two-bus paths designated device port
0 and device port 1 as shown in Figure 1–6. Port 0 connects the controller to
the upper four devices in the pedestal (IDs 8 through 11) and port 1 connects
the controller to lower three devices (IDs 8 through 10). The device addresses
on the bus are set at the factory by an internal configuration switch
(Figure 1–7).

When set to a specific position, the switch controls the addresses of each SBB
slot. Figure 1–8 identifies the pedestal slot locations and their corresponding
SCSI ID addresses for each device port.
