AcceleRAID 352 Quick Installation Guide

5. Set the SCSI ID for each external disk drive to a unique address

between 0 and 15, but do not use 7 (reserved for the controller). Do not
duplicate SCSI IDs used by internal drives designated for the same
channel. For more information on how to set SCSI IDs, refer to the disk
drive documentation.

If you are using an external SCSI cabinet, see the Caution note above.

Figure 6. Connecting Internal and External Drives

6. Connect a wide, high-density, 68-pin SCSI ribbon cable to the internal

SCSI connector on the AcceleRAID 352 controller and connect the
other cable connectors to any SCSI devices as required (see Figure 6).
Termination is automatic on the AcceleRAID 352.

7. Connect an active terminator to the end of the SCSI ribbon cable at the

end farthest from the controller (see Figure 6).

External drive cabinets usually have termination built into the end of
the SCSI bus. Check the documentation that comes with your drive
cabinet to be sure this is the case. If not, use an active terminator at the
end of the bus.

8. Connect a cable(s), with the 68 pin VHDCI, to either one or both of the

external connector(s) on the AcceleRAID 352 controller. Connect the
other end of the cable connector, to other devices or to a SAF-TE
external drive cabinet, as required (see Figure 6).
