Two-backplane configuration
In a two-backplane configuration:
•
the upper SCSI interface of the first backplane connects to the SCSI card
•
the lower SCSI interface connects to the upper SCSI interface of the
second backplane
•
a SCSI multi-mode terminator (LVD/SE) is placed on the lower SCSI
interface of the second backplane
First backplane
Second backplane
68-pin SCSI connector
(with SCSI multi-mode terminator)
