Figure 5. 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 150

or 250 and connect the other end of the cable to an external drive

cabinet as required. See Figure 5. 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 150 or 250 automatically determines

whether or not its own on-board termination is

required, and automatically enables or disables on-

board termination as necessary.
