It is not recommended to connect any Single-ended devices to the LVD
drive SCSI bus directly. Using a “single-ended to LVD converter” to
convert the Single-ended device to LVD before connecting to the drive
SCSI bus.
Any Single-ended devices connecting directly to the LVD SCSI bus will
force all the devices switch back to single-ended mode. The cable length
and maximum devices should follow Single-ended standard if the bus is
operating in Single-ended mode.
IMPORTANT:
Changing any settings in “View and Edit SCSI Channels” requires a system
reset to take effect.
