The cable is approximately two feet (610mm) in length. NOTE: Single-ended implementations are limited to a maximum distance of 20 feet (6 meters) between the SCSI devices at the end to end position on the SCSI bus. INSTALLABILITY: A populated PS/2 SCSI Storage Enclosure requires about 30 minutes to install. PROBLEM DETERMINATION: The standard system error indications should be followed to resolve all problems. PACKAGING PRODUCT SHIPMENT GROUP 3510-0V0 SCSI Storage Enclosure U.S. AC Power Cord Bezels Operating Instructions Device Install Instruct 6451139 Card to Option Cable (60- to 50-pin) Terminator (50-pin) Install Instructions SECURITY, AUDITABILITY AND CONTROL Security and auditability features of the system to which this product is attached are: o A mechanical lock to allow the user to lock the system cover o A user-invoked password function used to prevent the use of the system by unauthorized persons. LIMITATIONS: SCSI, as defined in the ANSI standard X3.131-1986, provides a port for the attachment of external devices. The IBM PS/2 SCSI adapters are in conformance with this standard and have an external port. A data security exposure exists even with Power-On Password installed, since external SCSI adapters can attach through the external SCSI port and gain undetected read or write access to data stored on internal and external SCSI devices. Physical access to the system and external SCSI devices must be controlled to limit this exposure. User management is responsible for evaluation, selection and implementation of security features, administrative procedures and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.
