Connecting the SCSI Peripherals

SCSI bus connections to the LSIU160 inside your computer can be made
with an unshielded 68 conductor Ultra SCSI TPE ribbon cable (see

Figure 2.3

). The lead connected to pin 1 on the cable is marked with a

colored stripe. The connectors on this cable may also be keyed to ensure
proper pin-1 connection.

All external SCSI bus connections to the LSIU160 are made with high
quality shielded 68 conductor cables (see

Figure 2.3

). The connectors on

this cable are always keyed to ensure proper pin-1 connection.

Note:

All the cables shown in

Figure 2.3

are included in the

LSI Logic Adapter Board Kit for the LSIU160.

A list of the SCSI bus width and maximum data transfer rate, for various
SCSI definitions, is provided in

Table 2.1

.

You can connect up to eight SCSI, Fast SCSI, and Ultra SCSI devices
on an SE Ultra SCSI bus only if they are evenly spaced on a 1.5-meter
Ultra SCSI cable (0.19 m between devices).
