FCC/IC RFI STATEMENTS
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION AND INDUSTRY CANADA
RADIO-FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
Class B Digital Device. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B computing device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
telephone reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
To meet FCC requirements, you should use shielded cables and power cords to
connect this device to a personal computer or other Class B certified device.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le

SCSI REPEATERS
2. Introduction
NOTE
If you’re not very familiar with how SCSI works or with the
characteristics of its different varieties, please read the technical
information in Appendix B. It might help you (a) confirm that you have
the proper Repeater and (b) prevent installation and operation problems.
2.1 Overview
Your new SCSI Repeater gives you the freedom to extend the distance of any LVD
SCSI bus (IC499 models) or single-ended SCSI bus (all other models) beyond the
standard distance limits. It’s a low-cost data repeater that plugs in-line on a SCSI
chain, regenerating and reconditioning the data signal, doubling the distance your
data can travel, and giving you the flexibility to install your SCSI peripherals
wherever you need them most (see Figure 2-1).
Figure 2-1. One SCSI Repeater doubles the distance of a SCSI bus.
In fact, you can link as many as three IC496, IC497, or IC498 model SCSI
Repeaters to a single SCSI-1, SCSI-2, or Ultra SCSI (SCSI-3) bus in order to place
disk drives, tape peripherals, CD-ROM drives, or laser printers up to 24 m (78.7 ft.)
away from the host computer (see Figure 2-2 on the next page). Or you can link as
many as two SCSI LVD Repeaters (IC499 models) to an Ultra2 SCSI bus to place
one such devices as much as 246 ft. (75 m) from the host computer, or two or
more such devices as much as 118 ft. (36 m) from the host computer.
NOTE
The maximum distance attainable in an IC496, IC497, or IC498 model
SCSI Repeater system depends on whether the bus is narrow or wide,
how many devices are on it, and how high the data rate is. See
Section 3.3.2 and Section B.4.
At 5 MBps, single-ended SCSI bus extended to as
much as 12 m (39.4 ft.) with a single Repeater
Multipoint LVD SCSI bus extended to as
much as 24 m (78.7 ft.) with a single Repeater

Figure 2-2. Daisychain SCSI Repeaters for more distance (DOS/Windows®
drive-letter assignments shown).
Three basic types of the SCSI Repeater are available. One supports “narrow” (8-bit)
single-ended SCSI devices, the second supports “wide” (16-bit) single-ended SCSI
devices, and the third supports low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI devices. All
three Repeater types can double the distance of your SCSI bus.
2.2 Features
• Doubles SCSI-bus distance.
• Maximum data rate of 20 (narrow single-ended), 40 (wide single-ended), or
80 (LVD) Mbps.
• Compatible with synchronous and asynchronous applications.
• User-installable.
• Transparent to SCSI controllers and peripherals.
• Internal active bus termination.
• No software required.
• IC496 and IC497 models are compatible with SCSI-1 and SCSI-2; IC498 models
are compatible with SCSI-2 and Ultra SCSI (SCSI-3); and IC499 models are
compatible with Ultra2 SCSI.
• Conforms to ANSI X3.131 and X3T9.2 SCSI specifications.
CHAPTER 2: Introduction
Multipoint LVD SCSI bus extended to as much as 36 m
(118.1 ft.) or single-ended SCSI bus extended to as much
as 18 m (59.1 ft.) with two Repeaters—a third Repeater
could extend the single-ended range to the maximum
24 m (78.7 ft.)
