6 x 4 ELECTRONIC SCSI SWITCH 2. Introduction 2.1 About the SCSI Switch The 6 x 4 Electronic SCSI Switch is a high-performance electronic crosspoint switch for use with the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) bus. It enables groups of four and six independent SCSI buses to be selected and electrically connected in any combination via internal electronic switching circuits. The 6 x 4 Electronic SCSI Switch eliminates the need to swap and reconfigure SCSI cables and bus terminators when alterna

6 x 4 ELECTRONIC SCSI SWITCH 2.3.2 GENERAL HARDWARE DESCRIPTION The 6 x 4 Electronic SCSI Switch’s rear panel identifies each of the independent SCSI ports. SCSI ports A, B, C, and D have two daisychained connectors per port, and SCSI ports 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 have single connectors for installation of SCSI devices. You can install the SCSI Switch at any point on the SCSI bus. Each port has internal termination that can be turned on or off from the LCD panel. External “termination power” (TERMP
