PERC 3/SC has one ultra-high-density 68-pin external connector for the
external storage subsystem and one high-density 68-pin internal connector.
Single-Ended and LVD SCSI Buses
The SCSI standard defines two electrical buses: a single-ended bus and an
LVD bus. PERC 3 supports both standards.
Maximum Cable Length for SCSI Standards
Table 1-1 displays the maximum length of cable that you can use for various
SCSI standards.
SCSI Bus Widths and Maximum Throughput
Table 1-2 displays the SCSI bus widths and maximum throughput for each
of the SCSI standards.
