SCSI Connections

SCSI Restrictions

This workstation offers the following types of SCSI bus, each with its own
configuration constraints:

single-ended standard SCSI-2 bus

fast, wide, differential SCSI bus

Single-Ended SCSI-2 Bus Configuration Constraints

For the single-ended standard SCSI-2 bus, HP-UX supports only one of each
type of removable disk drive and two of the same type tape devices per sys-
tem. Table 18 shows configuration constraints for each single-ended stan-
dard SCSI-2 device type. If the system has internal hard disk drives or a CD-
ROM drive, you must count them as SCSI-2 devices.

CAUTION:

Do not mix single-ended standard and fast, wide SCSI-2 peripherals.

Fast, Wide Differential SCSI Bus Configuration Constraints

Fast, wide SCSI does not work with the single-ended standard SCSI-2.
Table 19 shows the configuration constraints for each fast, wide, differential
SCSI device type.
