Built-in Interfaces

SCSI
The built-in SCSI-2 port is implemented using an NCR710 macrocell inside the I/O ASIC
chip. This 8-bit single ended implementation is compatible with the current Series 700
products and supports 5 Mbytes/sec data transfer rates.
The SCSI bus is terminated to 3.3 volts through 127 Ohms. on the system board. If the
board computer is used in a VMEbus chassis having internal mass storage devices, those
devices must have their terminator removed. If an external disk drive is used, an active ter-
minator must be used on the last drive’s uncabled connector.
Table 2-12 shows the SCSI interface specifications.
Figure 2-7 shows the SCSI connector.
