Cabling Guidelines
5-5
SCSI Device Installation Guidelines
Consider following guidelines when adding SCSI devices:
A maximum of 14 SCSI devices per controller can be added.
Each SCSI device must have a unique ID.
Compaq SCSI cables for the ProLiant CL380 are terminated. Be sure to
remove all terminating jumpers from third-party SCSI devices.
Supported Compaq SCSI options are not terminated.
NOTE:
The CR3500 supports up to 14 SCSI devices, the Smart Array controllers support
up to 15 SCSI devices.
SCSI Cable Connectors
To help identify the SCSI cables required for the system installation, refer to
the illustration below. Keep in mind these characteristics of SCSI cables:
External SCSI cables have a round wire with securable connectors.
Internal SCSI cables have a flat ribbon wire with push-on connectors.
Compaq SCSI cables are keyed so they cannot be installed incorrectly.
NOTE:
Assigning a unique SCSI ID is only needed for tape drives. Hard drive back planes
automatically assign SCSI IDs.
