SCSI Cable and Guidelines
All workstation models use three areas for connecting mass storage SCSI
devices: internally with hard drives in the removable hard drive cage,
internally with storage devices in the front panel drive bays, and externally
with external storage devices. The workstation has an integrated Wide-Ultra
SCSI controller that has one internal connector on the system board and one
external connector on the rear panel.
SCSI Cables
The workstation ships standard with a 5-device Wide-Ultra SCSI cable
that
has a terminator on one end. One end of this cable connects to the internal
Wide-Ultra SCSI connector on the system board, and the other end (first
device connector) of the cable connects to the hard drive in the removable
hard drive cage. The cable has five connectors to handle up to five SCSI
devices, a maximum of three in the removable hard drive cage and two in the
front drive bay area.
