1.7.1.2 Supported Target Devices

The SCSI subsystem supports a maximum of four internal devices, including the
host adapter. The CD-ROM drive is a narrow device. A unipack with one drive or a
six-pack, accommodating six drives, can be used as external devices.

TABLE 1-10 lists

the target devices supported by the SCSI subsystem.

1.7.1.3 External Cables

External UltraSCSI-compliant SCSI cables have an impedance of 90 ohm (+/- 6 ohm)
and are required for UltraSCSI interface. Sun’s implimentation of UltraSCSI requires
that the total SCSI bus length be limited to no more than approximately 20 feet (6
meters) with up to 12 Sun compensated devices. Due to the considerably short bus
length, an approximale 32-inch (0.8-meter) UltraSCSI-compliant external cable is
supported (part number 530-2883) in addition to an approximale 6.5-foot (2-meter)
UltraSCSI-compliant external cable (part number 530-2884).

Chapter 1 Back Panel Connectors 1-13

1.7.1.4 Internal SCSI Subassembly

The internal SCSI subassembly consists of two cable assemblies and two SCSI cards.
The SCSI subassembly is attached to the motherboard using an insulation
displacement connector (IDC) receptacle attached to a 80-conductor cable. In
addition to the SCSI signals, the 80-conductor cable carries diskette drive and system
LED signals to the SCSI backplane card. The IDC receptacle mates with a right angle
plug that is mounted on the motherboard.

The 80-conductor cable attaches on the other end to the SCSI backplane card with
another IDC connector. The SCSI backplane card incorporates two SCA-2 connectors
for mounting the hard drives, a four-circuit power connector to supply 5 Vdc and 12
Vdc power to the hard drives, a 34-pin diskette drive signal connector, and a green,
right-angle LED.

A 68-conductor cable exits the SCSI backplane card, carrying 27 SCSI signals and the
Termpower to the internal CD-ROM drive (or tape drive). The SCSI backplane card
houses the CD-ROM drive connector and three SCSI bus terminators. The
Termpower is routed through the SCSI subassembly to connect to the terminators on
the SCSI backplane card in support of the multi-host configuration.

1.7.1.5 SCSI ID Selection

The motherboard host adapter is assigned the SCSI identification of 7 for both ports.
The two internal drives attached to the SCA-2 connectors have a SCSI identification
of 0 and 1, while the CD-ROM has an identification of 6.

1.7.2 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.

1. The maximum number ofsingle-ended/differential SCSI devices is 16.

2. The effectiveinternal SCSIbus lengthof the Ultra 60 systemunit is0.9 meter.

3. Verify the cable type used to connect external SCSI devices.

You must use Fast-20 SCSI cable(s).

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

An Ultra 60 system enables the use of a single 0.8 meter (32 inch) Fast-20 SCSI cable
to a single external SCSI-3 parallel interface, Fast-20 Wide (UltraSCSI, WideUltra)
device or device cluster.

1.7.3 SCSI-2 (Fast/Wide SCSI) External Devices

If you connect SCSI-2 (Fast/Wide SCSI, 20 Mbytes data transfer rate) external
devices to an Ultra 60 system, follow these cabling and configuration guidelines to
ensure proper device addressing and operation:

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

non-Sun devices to the Ultra 60 system first and follow them with Sun devices.
Sun devices use autotermination.

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

connect the Sun 68-pin devices to the Ultra 60 system first and terminate the daisy
chain with the 50-pin device and its terminator.

■ The total SCSI bus length for all SCSI devices (internal and external) is

6.0 meters (19.7 feet).

3.2 Flash PROM Jumpers

The Ultra 60 system uses flash PROMs (programmable read-only memory). Flash
PROMs enable:

■ Reprogramming of specific code blocks

■ Remote reprogramming of the PROM chip by a system administrator over a local

area network

The default shunt setting of J2703 is on pins 1 and 2 (write protect). This disables
the flash PROM chip from being reprogrammed. Placing the shunt on pins 2 and 3
(write enable) enables reprogramming of the flash PROM chip.

Note – After reprogramming your system flash PROM, make sure you return the

flash PROM write protect/enable jumper (J2703) to the write protect position to
increase system security.

4.4 Memory Mapping

4.4.1 DIMM Installation Guidelines

■ Ultra 60 dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) are installed and mapped in

banks of four DIMMs.

■ DIMM sizes of 16-, 32-, 64-, and 128-Mbytes are supported. Therefore, the

minimum capacity for a bank of four DIMMs is 64 Mbytes and the maximum
capacity is 512 Mbytes.

■ You must install each bank with four DIMMs of the same memory size and speed.

■ If DIMMs of different memory size are installed together in a bank of four, the

system might not function properly.

■ A minimum of four DIMMs must be installed in a bank of four slots in order for

the system to boot.

4.4.2 DIMM Banks and Slots

TABLE 4-6 lists the DIMM banks and slots, and FIGURE 4-2 shows the banks on the

motherboard.
Bank 3 (the bank closest to the top of the system) is the default location for the four

factory-installed DIMMs.
