connecting a workstation to a jamacia enclosure

[GREGORY JONES_3]

I have a question in regards to connecting a HP A3311A jamacia tower to a system.
I have a HP c360 workstation here that I need to connect a HP jamacia disk tower to, so I can start running mediainit on all of our spare disk drives.
My question is, I am connecting the tower to the on-board SCSI card. I boot up the workstation into single user mode, and do
ioscan -funC disk

All I see is the internal disk drive and the cdrom.
I do not see any of the hard drives in the tower.
I made sure that my jumper setting on the tower were correct, made sure all of the cables and terminators were tightened.
And still didn't work.
Is there anything that I am missing?

The A3311A enclosure will accept either HVD (High Voltage Differential) (sometimes referred to as FWD) SCSI drives OR SE-SCSI drives on a given bus. It must be one or the other but not a mixture. Every component (including the terminators) on an HVD bus must be HVD devices. Your first task is to determine what kind of drives are in the enclosure ( a part number is best) and then make sure all other components are compatible.

That drive enclosure requires a scsi connection. You need the proper cabling and the unit itself must be properly terminated.

It has four connectors on the back

top left top right
bot left bot right

There should be a cross connector between bot left and top right.

You can plug c360 into top left or bottom right. If you have no second machine to plug in, you will need to terminate the empty conector prior to powering up and trying to ioscan the disks.

Also, you will need to check the scsi settings and make sure none of them conflict.

Lastly if you do intend to connect two machines to it the scsi id of the card can not be the same. This era machine may have pin selectable addresses on the scsi card.

If both the scsi cards connecting are the default id 7 you will get a kernel panic on the second machine that tries to boot and ioscan the disk.
