SCSI LVD Cables
Digidesign strongly recommends the use of Avid SCSI cables when you are attaching DigiDrives to
the accelerator board on your Pro Tools system. These cables are specifically designed with electrical
properties that ensure data integrity on the SCSI bus—either LVD or single-ended.
An Avid 30-inch, 68-pin to 68-pin SCSI LVD cable is supplied with each DigiDrive LVD enclosure. A
green sleeve on the cable denotes that it is an LVD cable. All LVD cables (regardless of length) have
green sleeves.
SCSI LVD Terminator
Avid's patented multi-mode terminator is included with each DigiDrive. The Avid LVD terminator de-
tects the SCSI bus mode. The LED is green when the SCSI bus is in LVD mode, and amber when the
SCSI bus is in single-ended fast, wide mode.
