2. Connect the drive to your host computer and terminate the last device in the
SCSI chain (see Figure 6).
The standalone UDO drive is a wide, low-voltage differential SCSI-3 device.
You can connect the drive to a SCSI bus either as the only device on the bus or
as one of a number of devices on the bus (daisy-chained).

The maximum supported cable length for an LVDS interface is 12 meters. The
maximum supported cable length for SE is 3 meters. This determines the
maximum length available for connection to your host, jukebox, or other devices.
Caution: HP recommends that you use SCSI cables with thumbscrew
connectors to safeguard against interference.
Note: This drive is a SCSI “fast” device. The maximum allowable length of the SCSI
cable cannot exceed 12 meters on an LVDS bus, including the internal cable length of
all peripherals on the bus. Use 0.5 meter (1.6 ft) as the internal SCSI cable length of
this drive.
