C-3 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 floppy disk drives, 4-mm DDS- format tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and W inchester hard disk drives. There a[...]

C-6 Singled-ended SCSI-2 definition limits the total cable length of SCSI-2 cables to 6 meters (19.6 feet). Fast, wide SCSI-3 definition limits the total cable length of SCSI-3 cables to 25 meters (82 feet). Always use the shortest possible cable(s) for your configuration. If you are daisy-chaining single-ended standard SCSI-2 devices to- gether , [...]

C-7 Connectors and T erminator Any single-ended standard SCSI-2 device connecting to the system board must use a 50-pin high-density thumb screw connector on the end connecting to the system board, and a 50-pin low-density bail lock connector on the other end.
