SCSI CHANNEL CONFIGURATIONS

Termination of the SCSI Bus at the VHDCI Connectors

Ultra320 I/O Repeater Module

CAUTION:

VHDCI connectors are easily damaged by improper handling. Visually

inspect each connector for bent contacts and carefully align prior to

insertion.

NOTES:

Port-A (In) connects to SCSI Host/Disk Channel.

Port A (Out) connects to a terminator or daisy-chained to another Info-

Station chassis or SCSI device.

For SCSI Ultra320 operation, the InfoStation requires Ultra320 drives,

Ultra320 HBA, Ultra320-compliant cabling (internal and external), and

Ultra320 repeater modules installed.

For daisy-chaining applications, total device-to-host cable length must not

exceed 12m (approx. 39ft) per SCSI specifications.
