7.3 Cabling the SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Differential PCI Adapter

The following tables describe the cables, terminator features, part numbers, and
lengths for the SCSI-2 F/W Differential PCI Adapter (FC 2409).

The maximum supported cable length for configurations is 25 meters
(approximately 80 feet).

7.3.1 Adapter-to-First Device Cables

This table describes the SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Differential PCI Adapter cables for
connection to the first device.

Note:

1. When cables are ordered by feature code, the appropriate terminator is included with

the order. When cables are ordered by part number, only the cable is included. For
terminator part numbers, refer to Table 31 on page 144.

2. For this adapter the same cable can be used for either single-ended or differential

attachments. The difference in Feature Code orders is the terminator type. Refer to
Table 26 on page 140.

3. The external connector on this adapter is the SCSI-3 standard, 68-pin "P" cable

connector. Many of the 18-bits SCSI devices also use this connector type, and as a
result some cables can be used as either adapter-to-first device or device-to-device
cables, depending upon what type of SCSI connectors are present on the devices.
