Figure 2-1 SCSI Cable for External Connections
To connect external SCSI devices to the A6829A adapter, perform the
following steps:
Step 1. Plug the 68-pin VHDCI connector on one end of a shielded external high
density SCSI cable into the adapter’s external connector (J2 or J3).
Step 2. Plug the 68-pin HD connector on the other end of the cable into the SCSI
connector on the external SCSI device.
Step 3. If you need to connect more than one external SCSI device to the adapter,
daisy chain them together with shielded external SCSI cables.
If auto termination is disabled and you want to terminate an external
connector on the HBA, use SCSI LVD/SE terminator (HP product
number C2370A). For more information on auto termination, see “Auto
Termination” on page 39.
When you have finished connecting the external devices, go to the
section, “Specifying SCSI Parameters” on page 23.
