Installing the LSIU160

You can connect up to four devices if they are evenly spaced on a
3-meter Ultra SCSI cable (0.75 m between devices). Your SE SCSI bus
should not exceed 3 meters (total internal and external cable lengths),
even with fewer than four devices.

For LVD applications, you can connect up to 16 devices including the
host adapter if they are evenly spaced on a 12-meter Ultra SCSI cable
(0.19 m minimum between devices). A list of the maximum bus length
and the maximum number of devices, for various SCSI definitions, is
provided in

Table 2.2
