Performing an Installation

4 eXtremeRAID DAC1164P Quick Installation Guide

Figure 3. Connecting Internal and External Drives

7. Connect a wide, round, 68-pin Very High Density Connector Interface

(VHDCI) cable to the external SCSI connector on the eXtremeRAID

controller and connect the other end of the cable to an external drive

cabinet as required. See Figure 3. 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

The eXtremeRAID controller automatically

determines whether or not its own on-board

termination is required, and automatically enables or

disables on-board termination as necessary.
