Compaq Professional Workstation AP500 Maintenance and Service Guide
SCSI Cables and Guidelines
All workstation models use three areas for connecting mass storage SCSI devices: internally
with hard drive in the removable hard drive cage, internally with storage devices in the front
panel drive bays, and externally with external storage devices. The workstation has an integrated
Wide-Ultra SCSI controller that has one internal connector on the system board and one external
connector on the rear panel.
SCSI Cables
The workstation ships standard with a 5-device Wide-Ultra or Wide Ultra2 SCSI cable that has a
terminator on one end. The other end of this cable connects to the internal Wide-Ultra SCSI
connector on the system board. The first device connector of the cable connects to the hard drive
in the removable hard drive cage. The cable has five connectors to handle up to five SCSI
devices, a maximum of three in the removable hard drive cage and two in the front drive bay
area.

NOTE: The SCSI cable included with the workstation may look slightly different than the one
pictured.
When installing a Wide Ultra2 SCSI hard drive a Wide Ultra2 SCSI cable (not shown) is
required.
