I-1 Appendix I Questions and Answers This Appendix contains several common questions about the SMART-2DH Array Controller. Along with the answers to the questions, you will see the location in this guide where you can find more information. Q. How many SMART-2DH Controllers can I install in my system, and how many internal and external drives? A. The maximum number of SMART-2DH Controllers you can install in your system depends on your server and several other factors specific to your configuration. See Chapter 2 for information defining some of these factors. The maximum number of internal and external drives that you can install in your system also depends upon your server and your choice of hard drives Each SMART-2DH Controller has two SCSI buses and each bus can support up to seven drives. See Chapter 2. Q. Does the SMART-2DH Controller support SCSI tape drives and CDROM Drives? A. No; the SMART-2DH Controller only supports Fast-SCSI-2, Fast-Wide SCSI-2, and Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 disk drives. Q. I installed the hard drives in my server. Must I now terminate each drive? A. No; if you installed hard drives in a server with a SMART-2DH Controller, all termination requirements are met by the controller and the SCSI signal cable. Therefore, the individual drives should have termination removed.

Appendix I
Questions and Answers
This Appendix contains several common questions about the SMART-2DH
Array Controller. Along with the answers to the questions, you will see the
location in this guide where you can find more information.
Q.
How many SMART-2DH Controllers can I install in my system, and how
many internal and external drives?
A.
The maximum number of SMART-2DH Controllers you can install in your
system depends on your server and several other factors specific to your
configuration.
See Chapter 2 for information defining some of
these factors.
The maximum number of internal and external drives that you can install in
your system also depends upon your server and your choice of hard drives
Each SMART-2DH Controller has two SCSI buses and each bus can support
up to seven drives. See Chapter 2.
Q.
Does the SMART-2DH Controller support SCSI tape drives and CD-
ROM Drives?
A.
No; the SMART-2DH Controller
only
supports Fast-SCSI-2, Fast-Wide
SCSI-2, and Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 disk drives.
Q.
I installed the hard drives in my server. Must I now terminate each drive?
A.
No; if you installed hard drives in a server with a SMART-2DH Controller, all
termination requirements are met by the controller and the SCSI signal cable.
Therefore, the individual drives should have termination removed.
