Installation Guide Connecting External SCSI Devices You can connect external Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the 68-pin external LVD/SE SCSI connectors. Each external device will require a 68-pin VHDCI external LVD SCSI cable. NOTE We recommend that you connect only Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the external SCSI connectors in order to achieve the maximum data transfer rate. We also recommend that you not combine older SCSI devices with the newer Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices on the same SCSI channel of the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160. Do not connect SCSI devices to more than two of the three SCSI Channel A connectors at the same time. STEP 1 Follow these steps to connect your external SCSI devices: Connect one end of an external SCSI cable to one of the external Ultra160 connectors on the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160. 68-pin external LVD/SE SCSI connector (Ch 1/A) 68-pin external LVD/SE SCSI connector (Ch 2/B) VHDCI external LVD SCSI cable 10

You can connect external Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the
68-pin external LVD/SE SCSI connectors. Each external device
will require a 68-pin VHDCI external LVD SCSI cable.
Follow these steps to connect your external SCSI devices:
Connect one end of an external SCSI cable to one of the external
Ultra160 connectors on the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160.
We recommend that you connect
only
Ultra160 and
Ultra2 SCSI devices to the external SCSI connectors in order
to achieve the maximum data transfer rate. We also recom-
mend that you not combine older SCSI devices with the
newer Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices on the same SCSI
