1. Maximum supported speeds may be limited by installation of lower speed devices, controllers or cable lengths greater than 2 meters.
2. Rack installation cable management requires devices to have a minimum cable length of 2 meters. Cable length requirements will vary based on placement within a single or multiple rack suite.
3. Attachment to wide ultra SCSI controllers limits operational speeds to Ultra SCSI (40 MBps) for cables up to 2 meters in length and Fast/Wide SCSI (20 MBps) for cable lengths between 2 meters and
4.3 meters. Ultra2 SCSI controllers and cables allow cable lengths of up to 20 meters at up to 40 MBps.
4. Attachment to wide ultra SCSI controllers limits operational speeds to Ultra SCSI (40 MBps) for cables up to two meters in length and Fast Wide (20 MBps) for cable lengths between 2 meters and 4.3
meters. Ultra2 SCSI controllers and cables allow cable lengths up to 20 meters at up to 80 MBps.
5. Maximum speeds may be limited by the installed devices or SCSI controller.
6. Daisy chaining tape enclosures is not supported. Speeds are limited by cable lengths and installed devices.
7. Requires SCSI-2 16-bit Active Terminator (P/N 32G3918).
8. Installs in a 3551001. Provides repeater function and LVDS interface allowing longer cable lengths and auto-termination when the 3551001 is powered off.
9. Connection to either Netfinity Fibre Channel Hub (P/N 35231RU) or Netfinity Fibre Channel PCI Adapter (P/N 01K7297) requires short wave fibre cables from Cable Group D.
10. Netfinity 5500 and 5500 M10 require IBM Netfinity SCSI Controller Cable (P/N 03K9313) to route the internal onboard SCSI RAID connector to an external F0.8 mm connector.
11. Cable lengths exceeding 4.3 meters are NOT supported for attachment to non-Ultra2 controllers.
12. Installations with cable lengths greater than 2 meters are limited to SCSI Fast/Wide speeds of 20 MBps .
13. RAID support for tape drives is limited to Non-RAID functions and utilization of a dedicated channel.
14. Maximum speeds may be limited by the enclosure or its installed devices.
15. Netfinity 7600 also includes a Netfinity ServeRAID-3HB Ultra2 SCSI Adapter (P/N 37L6086). See ServeRAID-3HB for connectivity requirements.
16. Netfinity 1000 SCSI models are not available in the Americas.
17. Netfinity 1000 (IDE models) are not available in Canada or Latin America.
18. Does not support external attachment of SCSI devices.
19. Converts a F0.8mm into a F68-pin connector for attachment of an external M68 cable.
20. Supports attachment to Ultra2 or single-ended SCSI controllers with operational speeds of up to Ultra2. Controller, storage unit, cable length or storage device limitations may apply (see Max. MB/
sec row and column above).
21. Netfinity EXP200 (P/N 35301RU) and EXP300 (P/N 35311RU) include a single 2 meter Ultra2 SCSI cable similar to Netfinity 2 M Ultra2 SCSI Cable (P/N 03K9310).
22. See Fibre Array Solutions for device attachment.
23. Four short wave GBICs are included with Netfinity Fibre Channel Hub (P/N 35231RU).
