SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions SCSI Restrictions This section describes the SCSI restrictions that apply to your workstation in the following areas: • Cables • Connectors and Terminator • SCSI configuration constraints Cables All SCSI devices ship without cables. Only SCSI cables approved by HP can be used to connect your workstation and any SCSI devices.
Page 175 SCSI cables approved by HP are designed to function within the SCSI tolerances for HP devices. Use of other cables can result in signiﬁcant problems with system operation. The narrow, singled-ended SCSI implemented on C160/C180/C200/C240/ C360 workstations limits the total cable length of narrow SE SCSI cables to 6 meters (19.6 feet).
Page 176: Connectors And Terminators
SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions Connectors and Terminators Any narrow, SE SCSI device connecting to the system must use a 50-pin high-density thumb screw connector on the end connecting to the system board. Any fast, wide differential or ultra, wide-SE SCSI device connecting to the system must use a 68-pin high-density thumb screw connector on both ends.
