NOTICES SCSI Connections This appendix provides information about connecting Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) devices to an HP 9000 B132L/B132L+/B160L/180L workstation. It presents the information in the following sections: • SCSI bus differences • SCSI restrictions • Determining SCSI bus - HP Visualize b132L | hp Visualize workstation b132L, b132L plus, b160L, and b180 - Page 187
devices are 4-mm DDS-format tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and Winchester hard disk drives. There are three types of SCSI buses available with this workstation - a narrow single-ended SCSI (NSE SCSI) bus, and a fast, wide differential SCSI (FWD SCSI) bus or an ultra, wide, single-ended SCSI bus.
