Netfinity 5000 - SCSI Connectors and Jumpers

Applicable to: World-Wide

SCSI Connectors
Your server comes with a 16-bit UltraSCSI controller on the system board, which provides two independent SCSI channels. This controller has two 68-pin, shielded, high-density connectors: one internal, on the controller, and one external, on the back of the server. You can use these connectors to install an additional internal SCSI device in your server or to attach up to fifteen external SCSI devices to your server.

Internal SCSI Connector: A 2-drop, 68-pin (16-bit) cable is installed in your server. One drop is connected to the backplane, the other drop can connect to an additional SCSI removable media device (not a hard disk drive). This cable is connected to the internal connector for the 16-bit UltraSCSI controller. You can use this cable to install an additional internal SCSI device in your server.

External SCSI Connector: To attach an external SCSI device to your server, connect an external SCSI cable from the SCSI device to the SCSI connector on the back of the server. Ensure that the last device on the external SCSI cable is terminated. Table 7 shows the pin-number assignments for the 68-pin SCSI connectors.

SCSI Jumpers
The option jumper block on the DASD (SCSI) backplane defines the SCSI IDs for hot-swap drives. See the illustration in DASD Backplane Jumper Block Location for the location of the option jumper block.

The following table summarizes the settings for the DASD backplane SCSI option jumper block (J4).

The following table shows the SCSI IDs that you can use for hot-swap drives.
