Typical SCSI Channel Configurations

CAUTION:

When using the double-stacked VHDCI connectors simultaneously, offset

VHDCI cable connectors must be used for proper fit. Failure to use proper

cables may result in damage to the InfoStation VHDCI connectors!

VHDCI connectors are easily damaged by improper handling. Visually inspect

each connector for bent contacts and carefully align prior to insertion.

NOTES:

Daisy-chaining requires the optional SCSI I/O Repeater Module(s). Refer to

Appendix B for further information.

Up to fifteen (15) drives maximum per SCSI channel.

The InfoStation scalable backplane design allows either a single or dual-channel configuration.

Single-Channel InfoStation

Single-channel InfoStations must be externally terminated (terminator not included) as shown

in Figures 10 & 11.
