SCSI Cable Information
You should use your external SCSI connector to connect LVD SCSI devices to your
workstation. This section provides you with SCSI cable information that is important for
the correct operation of your external SCSI device.
NOTE The total length of the external SCSI cable shouldn’t exceed 10 meters (approximately
32.81 feet) and at least eight inches of cable must separate each device.
Contact your dealer to order shielded HP SCSI cables to connect external SCSI
accessories.
CAUTION LVD SCSI is very sensitive to noise; therefore, all cables on the SCSI bus must be
exceptionally high-quality cables. The following table shows examples of such cables.
Please make sure that any external hard disk enclosures are rated for LVD SCSI use.
