xSeries 220 Internal SCSI Cabling
Non-Hot-Swap
Models
xSeries 220 non-hot-swap models are cabled internally with a five-drop, 16-bit wide LVD SCSI cable with a built-in multi-mode active terminator on one end of the cable. The other
end of the cable is attached to the internal 68-pin connector of the integrated Ultra160 SCSI controller. SCSI devices can be connected to any of the five cable connectors. If 8-bit
(narrow) devices are to be installed, a 68- to 50-pin converter (32G3925) is required for each narrow device.
Hot-Swap Models
xSeries 220 hot-swap models are cabled internally with a two-drop, 16-bit wide LVD SCSI cable. One end is connected to the internal 68-pin connector of the integrated Ultra160
SCSI controller. The first drop is designed to support a SCSI device in the 3.5-inch non-hot-swap bay, while the second drop is connected to the hot-swap SCSI backplane.The SCSI
backplane provides termination for the SCSI bus.
Other Configuration Alternatives
In the case where a RAID controller is used to support internal drives in a xSeries 220, the standard cable is moved from the onboard controller to the RAID adapter. To connect a
tape drive to the onboard or other supported SCSI controller, the two-drop cable from Media Bay Tray and LVD Cable Kit (P/N 10K2340) must be used.
External SCSI support can be obtained by installing an optional SCSI adapter or RAID controller and using appropriate external SCSI cabling.
1.Non-hot-swap HDDs are supported in bays 4...7 of non-hot swap models and in bay 4 of hot-swap models.
2.Hot-swap HDDs are supported in bays 5...7 of hot-swap models. Bay 4 supports non-hot-swap HDDs only.
3. Not supported by the onboard SCSI controller. Select an optional SCSI controller then refer to Appendix D: Cables-Storage Units-Controllers to confirm the controller supports the
desired External Storage Expansion Unit and to select a supported cable. For HDD or other expansion unit options, see the specific expansion unit section.
4. Netfinity EXP200 includes a single 2 M Ultra2 SCSI cable and a single hot-swap 350W power supply and standard country power cord. Optional hot-swap Netfinity EXP200 350W
Redundant Power Supply (P/N 37L0xxx
7
) includes an additional standard country power cord. To convert an EXP200 to match the system’s tower form factor, Netfinity EXP200 Rack-
to-Tower Conversion Kit (P/N 37L5857) is required.
5. EXP300 includes a single 2M Ultra2 SCSI cable and dual hot-swap 500 W redundant power supplies, each with its own standard country power cord. To convert an EXP300 to a tower
form factor, EXP300 Rack-to-Tower Conversion Kit (P/N 09N7296) is required.
