External Mass Storage Cabling (with optional
SCSI/Array controller PCI card)
The following sections explain the connectors and guidelines for external
SCSI cabling on the ProLiant DL360 G2 server.
SCSI Cable Connectors
To help identify the SCSI cables required for external mass storage devices on
ProLiant DL360 G2, see the following illustrations. Observe the
characteristics for each of these SCSI cables:
■ External SCSI cables have a round wire with securable connectors.
■ Internal SCSI cables have a flat ribbon wire with push-on connectors.
■ Compaq SCSI cables are keyed so they cannot be installed incorrectly.
■ Fast-Wide SCSI-2 (wide SCSI) internal ribbon cables are physically
smaller (narrower) than the Fast-SCSI-2 (standard SCSI) cables.
