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.
