Controller Board Installation (Standard)

2-10 AcceleRAID 150 Installation Guide

7. Connect the SCSI cables from the disk drives to a SCSI connector on

the AcceleRAID 150 controller board, as shown in Figure 2-8.

(The controller board is already connected to the system board.)

If necessary, refer to Table A-1 on page A-1 for SCSI formats and bus

lengths.

☛

Note

In order to ensure an error free environment, the

proper cable type designed for a certain SCSI

speed must be used.

☛

Note

Wide and narrow SCSI disk

drives

must not be

installed together (mixed) on any one channel, or the

AcceleRAID controller board may not work properly.

It is ok to mix wide and narrow connections for other

devices, but

do not mix SCSI disk drives.

☛

Note

It is recommended that non-RAID SCSI devices be

connected to a separate SCSI channel, either on the

system board or furnished by a SCSI host bus adapter

board, such as a Mylex FlashPoint board.

See Appendix A for information on LVD mode and

single-ended mode.
