Ultra160 SCSI ports

The server has an integrated dual-channel Ultra160 small

computer system interface (SCSI) controller.

This controller

supports two independent Ultra 160/m SCSI channels:

one

internal and one external.

Each of these channels supports

up to 15 SCSI devices.

In addition, this controller uses:

•

Double-transition clocking to achieve high transfer

rates

•

Domain name validation to negotiate compatible data

transfer speeds with each device

•

Cyclic-redundancy checking (CRC), instead of the

usual parity checking, to significantly improve data reli-

ability

•

An active terminator on the system board for SCSI bus

termination

The server comes with two SCSI cables.

One cable con-

nects the internal SCSI channel connector to the standard

hot-swap-drive backplane.

The other cable is not connected

to the server when the server is shipped and must be

installed in the server.

If you want to use the external LVD

SCSI channel connector to connect external SCSI devices

to the server, remove the knockout on the rear of the server

and install the LVD SCSI cable that comes with the server.

Note:

If you install a PCI RAID adapter to configure and

manage the internal hot-swap drives, you must move

the SCSI cable from the system-board SCSI connec-

tor to an internal channel connector on the RAID

adapter.

See “Cabling example for the ServeRAID

adapter” on page 71 for additional information.

SCSI cabling requirements

If you plan to attach external SCSI devices, you must order

additional SCSI cables.

To select and order the correct

cables for use with external devices, contact your IBM

reseller or IBM marketing representative.

For information about the maximum length of SCSI cable

between the terminated ends of the cable, refer to the ANSI

SCSI standards. Adhering to these standards will help

ensure that the server operates properly.

Setting SCSI IDs

Each SCSI device connected to a SCSI controller must have

a unique SCSI ID.

This ID enables the SCSI controller to

identify the device and ensure that different devices on the
