Controller Installation (Standard)

AcceleRAID 150 Installation Guide

7. Connect the SCSI cables from the disk drives to a SCSI connector on

the AcceleRAID 150 controller, as shown in Figure 2-8.
(The controller is already connected to the system board.) If necessary,
refer to Table A-1 on page A-1 for SCSI formats and bus lengths.

Note

In order to ensure an error free environment, the
proper cable type designed for a certain SCSI
speed must be used.

Note

Wide and narrow SCSI disk drives must not be
installed together (mixed) on any one channel, or the
AcceleRAID controller may not work properly. It is
ok to mix wide and narrow connections for other
devices, but do not mix SCSI disk drives.

Figure 2-8. Connecting Disk Drives to the AcceleRAID 150

Note

It is recommended that non-RAID SCSI devices be
connected to a separate SCSI channel, either on the
system board or furnished by a SCSI host bus adapter,
such as a Mylex FlashPoint controller.

See Appendix A for information on LVD mode and
single-ended mode.
