Caution

If a conflict in controller configuration information exists
between this document and the controller-specific
documentation, use information contained in the
controller-specific documentation.

Note

Disk drive support is controller-specific. Refer to the array
controller documentation to determine compatible disk
drives.

UltraSCSI Nodes

A node is a SCSI device that uses a SCSI bus ID. In the UltraSCSI
RAID enclosure, the following rules apply:

SCSI bus ID 7 is reserved for the controller only.

SCSI bus ID 6 is reserved for the controller only.

SCSI bus IDs 4 or 5 cannot be used.

5.25-inch devices are not supported.

The valid device SCSI bus IDs are device type dependent,
meaning:

— An UltraSCSI device can use device addresses 0 through 3 or

8 through 15.

— A wide (16-bit), FAST 10, SCSI device (–VW suffix) uses

device addresses 0 through 3 or 8 through 15.
