Figure 3-4. Connecting Internal and External Drives
9. Connect a wide, round, 68-pin Very High Density Connector Interface
(VHDCI) cable to the external SCSI connector on the AcceleRAID 250
and connect the other end of the cable to an external drive cabinet as
required. See Figure 3-4. External drive cabinets usually have
termination built into the end of the SCSI bus. Check the
documentation that comes with your drive cabinet to be sure this is the
case. If not, use an active terminator at the end of the bus.
☛
Note
An AcceleRAID 250 automatically determines
whether or not its own on-board termination is
required, and automatically enables or disables on-
board termination as necessary.
