To connect to an Ultra320 or an Ultra160 SCSI peripheral, use a VHDCI-VHDCI cable. To
connect to a Fast SCSI-2 peripheral, use an external VHDCI-to-narrow SCSI cable. To
connect to a Fast Wide SCSI-2 or Wide Ultra SCSI-3 peripheral, use an external
VHDCI-to-Wide SCSI cable.

If these cables are not furnished with the HP external SCSI device, you might be able to
obtain them from an authorized HP reseller. Refer to “SCSI Cables” in Chapter 1 for more
information.

To attach the cable:

1. Attach the appropriate end of the cable to the external peripheral according to the

instructions that came with the device. Be sure to secure the thumbscrews.

2. Attach the VHDCI end of the cable to the adapter and secure the thumbscrews.

After the cabling is complete, proceed to “Completing the Installation” in this chapter.
