Actually, with no description of the controller it may be SCSI or DSSI.
The HSDxx controllers are DSSI, the HSZxx controllers are SCSI, the
HSJxx controllers are CI, and the HSGxx controllers are FC.  The
controller in that cabinet could be an HSDxx or HSZxx.

The shelves could be wide SCSI.  Again, without more specific
information on the actual items included it's hard to tell.
