SCSI Implementation

■ SCSI-3 Fast-20 (UltraSCSI) parallel interface

■ 16-bit SCSI bus

■ 40Mbps data transfer rate

■ Support for 16 SCSI addresses:

■ Target 0 to 6 and 8 to F for devices

■ Target 7 reserved for SCSI host adapter on main logic board

Chapter 4 External I/O Connections 33

■ Support for up to seven internal SCSI devices (including the host adapter):

■ Fast-20 SCSI disk drive target 0 (left-most drive slot)

■ Fast-20 SCSI disk drive target 1

■ Fast-20 SCSI disk drive target 2

■ Fast-20 SCSI disk drive target 3 (right-most drive slot)

■ Fast-10 SCSI removable media device target 4

■ Fast-10 SCSI removable media device target 6

■ Support for external 8-bit and 16-bit SCSI devices via 68-pin SCSI connector

mounted on an adapter board

SCSI Cabling and Configuration

The SCSI-3 Fast-20 (UltraSCSI) specification requires that the external SCSI bus
length be limited to 3m (10ft) for less than five devices (internal and external), and

1.5m (5ft) for five to eight devices. When SCSI-3 and SCSI-2 devices are connected to
the Netra t 1400/1405 system SCSI bus, the system enables each device to operate at
its respective data transfer rate. The last external SCSI device in a daisy-chain must
be terminated internally (active termination) or with an external terminator
according to Forced-Perfect Termination (FPT) technology.

SCSI Cabling Procedure

1. Count the number of SCSI devices on the system SCSI bus. Be sure to count the
host adapter as a SCSI device.

2. Determine the total SCSI bus length.

3. Verify the cable type used to connect external SCSI devices. You must use Fast-20 SCSI cable(s).

Ensure that the total SCSI cable length does not exceed the permissible total SCSI
bus length.

SCSI-2 (Fast Wide SCSI) External Devices

If you connect SCSI-2 (Fast Wide SCSI, 20Mbyte data transfer rate) external devices
to a Netra t 1400/1405 system, follow these cabling and configuration guidelines (as
shown in

■ If all external mass storage devices use 68-pin connectors, connect all non-Sun

devices to the Netra t 1400/1405 system first and follow them with Sun devices.
Sun devices use auto-termination.

■ If external mass storage devices consist of 68-pin Sun devices and 50-pin devices,

connect the Sun 68-pin devices to the Netra t 1400/1405 system first and
terminate the daisy chain with the 50-pin device and its terminator.

■ The total SCSI bus length for all external SCSI devices is 6.0m (19.7ft).
