2-4 Installing Your Tower
Other SCSI-2
Devices
As an alternative to the HP 7-bay tower described above, you
can attach a chain of up to four SCSI-2 stand-alone (external)
drives to the HP J3278A server/tower, using its rear SCSI-2
connector. The connector is 50-pin female high-density micro-D.
CAUTION!
SCSI Chain Limits
❏ No more than four (4) SCSI devices chained from the server
tower.
❏ Cable lengths between devices limited to one (1) meter.
Total external cabling limited to four (4) meters.
Industry-standard SCSI-2 cables and terminators are available
in different lengths and with different connector types; obtain
cables that match the connectors on your drives. The HP SCSI
products in the table below may, or may not, match your drives.
The server tower will manage the second SCSI bus composed of
the added drives; you must set the SCSI IDs of your drives for
that bus, and terminate the chain.
