NOTE Hardware Components SCSI Adapter Cards Although SE SCSI devices work when you attach them to connector 1 or 2, it limits all devices to SE mode. For example, this limitation would result in the Ultra 160/m hard disk drive performance being limited from 160MB/sec to 40MB/sec. Therefore, you should connect only LVD SCSI devices to connectors 1 and 2. For information about how to connect internal and external SCSI devices, please read Chapter 6 "Installing and Replacing Hardware Parts." SCSI Cable Information You should use your external SCSI connector to connect LVD SCSI devices to your Workstation. This section provides you with SCSI cable information that is important for the correct operation of your external SCSI device. The total length of the external SCSI cable shouldn't exceed 10 meters (approximately 32.81 feet) and at least eight inches of cable must separate each device. Contact your dealer to order shielded HP SCSI cables to connect external SCSI accessories. Chapter 5 133

SCSI Cable Information
You should use your external SCSI connector to connect LVD SCSI
devices to your Workstation. This section provides you with SCSI cable
information that is important for the correct operation of your external
SCSI device.
NOTE
The total length of the external SCSI cable shouldn’t exceed 10 meters
(approximately 32.81 feet) and at least eight inches of cable must
separate each device.
Contact your dealer to order shielded HP SCSI cables to connect external
SCSI accessories.
