ABSTRACT:
A system is described for selectively configuring a backplane-based SCSI subsystem in at least two alternative drive configurations. A concatenator/splitter (C/S) device enables a user to concatenate several SCSI devices onto a single bus, or alternatively to split the devices onto multiple buses. In either configuration, the bus or buses are properly terminated. The C/S device is located on the backplane between two buses and is connected to each bus by a connector section. A removable interface module plugs into the connector section in either an upright or upside-down orientation, as selected by the user, to choose either a concatenated or split bus configuration. A terminating network is included in the interface module in order to terminate the first bus when the subsystem is configured in the split bus arrangement.
