Internal SCSI Cabling
Netfinity 3500 M20 systems are cabled internally with a five-drop, 16-bit wide LVD SCSI cable with a built-in active terminator at one end of the cable. The other end of the cable
is attached to the internal connector of the integrated Wide Ultra160 SCSI controller. For RAID configurations, the cable can be moved from the onboard to the optional RAID
controller. A tape drive can then be cabled directly to the onboard or other supported adapter with the terminated, two-drop, 16-bit, LVD SCSI cable available in the Netfinity Media
Bay Conversion Kit P/N 10K2340. No external SCSI port is included.

1. No external SCSI port is available. 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.
2. 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 EXP200 350W Redundant Power Supply (P/N 37L0xxx) includes an additional standard
country power cord. To convert an EXP200 to match the 3500 M20’s form factor, EXP200 Rack-to-Tower Conversion
Kit P/N 37L5857 is required.
3. EXP300 includes a single 2 M Ultra2 SCSI cable and dual hot-swap 500W redundant power supplies, each with its own
standard country power cord. To convert an EXP300 to match the 3500 M20’s form factor, EXP300 Rack-to-Tower
Conversion Kit P/N 09N7296 is required.

1. Netfinity 3500 M20 includes a single channel Ultra160 SCSI controller for internal use only. No standard external port is available. See “Internal SCSI Cabling” for cabling alternatives.
2. Netfinity ServeRAID-3L Ultra2 SCSI Adapter II P/N 19K0564 provides either one internal or one external (0.8-mm VHDCI) LVDS SCSI channel.
3. Netfinity ServeRAID-3HB Ultra2 SCSI Adapter P/N 37L6086 provides one internal and 2 external (0.8-mm VHDCI) LVDS SCSI channels. The internal channel can be configured for external
usage (0.8-mm VHDCI connector) providing a total of 3 external LVDS SCSI channels. Includes 32 MB of mirrored battery-backup cache which helps protect against data loss in write-back
cache mode in the event of a power outage or adapter maintenance.
4. ServeRAID-4L Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100 MHz Intel i960 processor and provides a single channel, 16 MB of ECC cache and either one internal or one external Ultra160
connection. External connector is 0.8-mm VHDCI.
5. ServeRAID-4M Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100 MHz Intel i960 processor and provides two channels, 64 MB of battery-backed ECC cache and two internal and two external
Ultra160 connectors (only two connectors may be utilised). External connectors are 0.8-mm VHDCI.
6. ServeRAID-4L P/N 37L6091 and -4M P/N37L6080 are not supported in slots 1 or 2 if more than one RAID adapter is to be installed or more than one logical drive is to be attached to the
adapter.
7. Netfinity 3500 M20 includes a full-duplex, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI controller.
8. Netfinity 3500 M20 includes two USB ports, one serial and one parallel port.
9. PCI Wide Ultra160 SCSI Adapter (P/N 19K4646) provides a single channel with one internal connector and a five-drop multi-mode terminated LVD SCSI cable and one external connector
with a 0.8-mm VHDCI connector. Only one of the two connectors may be utilised.
