SCSI Cable Connectors

To help identify the SCSI cables required for ProLiant DL380 server

installation, refer to the connectors illustrated in the following figure. SCSI

cables have the following characteristics:

■

External SCSI cables have a round wire with securable connectors.

■

Internal SCSI cables have a shredded 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.
