SCSI Connections This appendix provides information about connecting Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) devices to an HP 9000 C160/C180/C200/C240 workstation. It presents the information in the following sections: • SCSI bus differences • SCSI restrictions • Determining SCSI bus length • Assigning SCSI device IDs • Connecting to the SCSI ports The instructions in this chapter assume you are using HP-UX version 9.05 or later operating system with HP VUE version 3.0 or later interface.
SCSI Connections SCSI Bus Differences SCSI Bus Differences A Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) bus is an IEEE standard bus for connecting your workstation to internal and external devices (SCSI devices) running at different speeds, singly or in combination. Examples of these SCSI devices are 4-mm DDS-format tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and Winchester hard disk drives.
SCSI Connections SCSI Bus Differences Table 19 Transfer Rate Ultra Wide-SE (C200/C240 only) SCSI Bus Differences Data Bus Width 16 bits Maximum Addresses* 16 Maximum Cable Length 3 meters (9.84 feet) Up to 40 Mbytes per second * Address 7 is reserved for host controller use on all buses.

SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions SCSI Restrictions This section describes the SCSI restrictions that apply to your workstation in the following areas: • Cables • Connectors and Terminator • SCSI configuration constraints Cables All SCSI devices ship without cables. Only SCSI cables approved by HP can be used to connect your workstation and any SCSI devices. HP offers the following SCSI cables for narrow, single-ended SCSI devices: • K2296 cable with 0.
SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions CAUTION: SCSI cables approved by HP are designed to function within the SCSI tolerances for HP devices. Use of other cables can result in significant problems with system operation. The narrow, singled-ended SCSI implemented on C160/C180/C200/C240 workstations limits the total cable length of narrow SE SCSI cables to 6 meters (19.6 feet). The fast, wide, differential SCSI definition limits the total cable length of FW SCSI cables to 25 meters (82 feet).
SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions Connectors and Terminators Any narrow, SE SCSI device connecting to the system must use a 50-pin high-density thumb screw connector on the end connecting to the system board. Any fast, wide differential or ultra, wide-SE SCSI device connecting to the system must use a 68-pin high-density thumb screw connector on both ends.
SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions SCSI Configuration Constraints You are limited to the number of same-type SCSI devices per system. Before adding another SCSI device, determine if the system can support the additional device.
SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions CAUTION: Do not mix narrow, single-ended SCSI, fast, wide differential SCSI, or ultra, wideSE SCSI peripherals on the same SCSI bus. Fast, Wide, Differential SCSI Bus Configuration Constraints FWD SCSI does not work with either SE SCSI. Table 22 shows the configuration constraints for each FWD SCSI device type.
SCSI Connections Determining SCSI Bus Length Determining SCSI Bus Length This section helps you to determine the total length of the narrow, singleended SCSI bus, the fast, wide differential SCSI bus and ultra, wide singleended SCSI bus.

SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs Assigning SCSI Device IDs Before assigning a SCSI device ID to your drive, you need to check your existing SCSI device IDs. To determine which SCSI device IDs are available for your device, use the ioscan command in a terminal window: 1 At a command line prompt, enter the following: /usr/sbin/ioscan -f After a few moments, the ioscan utility lists all of the SCSI I/O devices it could find.
SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs 2 You can tell which SCSI IDs are currently in use by looking under the H/W Path heading. The listing 8/16/5 scsi is the built-in SCSI bus controller. For devices connected to the built-in SCSI bus, such as disks, the fourth number is the SCSI ID for that device. For example, the listing 8/16/5.4.0 in the sample device list tells you that there is a SCSI device (a disk) currently using ID 4 on the SCSI bus.
SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs CAUTION: Do not use SCSI device ID 7 for any device. It is reserved for the built-in SCSI bus controller. Table 27 Narrow Single-Ended SCSI Device IDs SCSI Device Drives Device ID (Address) Number (Only 0 through 6 Available) Internal External Internal System Drives: CD-ROM Drive (if present, uses ID No.2) __________ N/A 4-mm DDS Tape Drive (if present, uses ID No.
SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs Fast, Wide Differential SCSI IDs (C160/C180/C200 Upgrades) Before assigning a SCSI device ID to your drive, you need to check your SCSI device IDs. To check which SCSI device IDs are available and assign an ID to your device, follow these instructions which use Table 28. 1 Write in the type of each device currently connected to your system under the heading “Fast, Wide Differential SCSI Device Drives” and each drive’s SCSI device ID under the heading “Device ID.
SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs 1 Write in the type of each device currently connected to your system under the heading “Ultra, Wide SE SCSI Device Drives” and each drive’s SCSI device ID under the heading “Device ID.” 2 Add your new drive to the table. 3 Check to see what SCSI device IDs are not used. You may use ID numbers 0 through 6 and 8 through 15 if they are not already in use. If the default ID on your drive does not conflict with any existing drive IDs, use that ID.
SCSI Connections Connecting to the SCSI Ports Connecting to the SCSI Ports This section describes how to connect to the system SCSI ports (narrow single-ended and fast, wide differential or ultra, wide single-ended). System SCSI Port Connection The system contains two (2) SCSI connectors: • System Narrow, Single-Ended SCSI Connector • System Fast, Wide Differential SCSI Connector (C160/C180/C200 upgrade) or Ultra, Wide Single-Ended SCSI Connector (C200/C240) Figure 57 shows the two SCSI connectors.
