Typical SCSI Channel Configurations

CAUTION:

VHDCI connectors are easily damaged by improper handling. Visually inspect

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

NOTES:

The installation, configuration, and use of the StorCase InfoStation chassis

requires a certain level of expertise and experience on the part of the user/

integrator. Since there are many configuration options and variables (ie. host

platforms, applications, etc), only general/typical configuration guidelines will

be discussed in this User's Guide.

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

For daisy-chaining applications, total device-to-host cable length should not

exceed 12m (approx. 39ft) per SCSI specifications.
