BusLogic SCSI Cabling Options & Precautions
for New Card in FTs and FTe
FTs:
BusLogic SCSI cabling in the FTs uses the same slot positioning as
currently used in the FTs products (bottom two). There are different cables used, to
account for the different position of the SCSI connector. Termination should always be
used on the SCSI card. Termination in the drive bay should be produced either by the front
bay termination with the switches on, or with the feed-through cable and terminated in the
rear drive bay. Dual SCSI bus configurations should be terminated at the front and rear
bays as appropriate. Cable part number is 15042331; this accounts for different location
of SCSI connector.
FTe:
BusLogic SCSI cabling in the FTe uses the same slots positions as
currently used in the FTe (2 and 3). There are different cables used, to account for the
different location of the SCSI connector. Terminations should always be used on the SCSI
card. Termination in the drive bay is unaltered. The SCSI bus is either terminated with
the block terminator, or if a DAT drive is fitted, then the DAT drive provides termination
with its internal resistors. Front cable part number is PT15042631, rear cable part number
is PT 15042931, this accounts for different location of SCSI connector.
Relevant part numbers are:
| FTs: |
Cable is PT15042331 |
| FTe: |
Front cable is PT15042631, rear cable is PT15042931 |
