Installing Hard-Disk Drives 10-11
In split-backplane mode, the drives connected to the backplane board are divided as
follows:
On a 2 x 2 backplane board, the SCSI channel attached to connector SCSIA on
the SCSI backplane board supports SCSI slots 0 and 1 (see Figure 10-2). The SCSI
channel attached to connector SCSIB on the backplane board supports SCSI slots
2 and 3.
On a 2 x 3 backplane board, the SCSI channel attached to connector SCSIA on
the SCSI backplane board supports SCSI slots 0, 1, and 2 (see Figure 10-2). The
SCSI channel attached to connector SCSIB on the backplane board supports SCSI
slots 3, 4, and 5.
The system automatically configures the backplane board as a split backplane if two
SCSI interface cables are connected—no jumper or software changes are required.
