Figure 2-14: High density SCSI cables
The cables should have a VHDCI 68pin .8mm D-shell/P-type to Standard 68pin SCSI D-shell
connector at the end being attached to the VT5900-SA. The type of connector at the other end of
the cable will be dependent on the device being connected.
To connect the VT5900-SA to a SCSI bus:
1. Power off the SCSI devices on this bus.
2. Connect a SCSI cable to one of the SCSI connectors on the back panel of the unit. The
VT5900-SA should always be installed at the end of the SCSI bus.
3. Make sure that the bus is terminated correctly. By default, the VT5900-SA is automatically
terminated. However, the device at the other end of bus must also be terminated.
Warning: During attachment of high density SCSI cables, please note the orientation (as shown
in Figure 2-14) of the high density SCSI port connectors on the back panel of VT5900-SA.
Failure to maintain appropriate orientation of the cables to the SCSI port connectors can result in
damage to the SCSI port connectors on the VT5900-SA.
Caution: SCSI ports on the VT5900-SA are not hot-pluggable. Power off the VT5900-SA when-
ever connecting/disconnecting the SCSI cables.
Warning: Please be advised that failure to comply with the minimum high density cable
specifications can result in damage to the VT5900-SA or an operational failure of the product.
