ARO-1130CA Installation and Hardware Guide
Connecting SCSI Devices
The ARO-1130CA supports both internal and external SCSI devices.
Depending on the number of SCSI channels provided on the moth-
erboard. Each channel supports up to 15 SCSI devices—either 16-bit
devices alone or a combination of 16-bit and up to seven 8-bit
devices.
Note:
If you are installing your SCSI devices inside an array
enclosure, see Connecting SCSI Array Enclosures (Storage Sub-
systems) on page 2-12.
Choosing SCSI Cables
To connect your SCSI devices, make sure you have the appropriate
cable and connectors as described in the following table (see also
