The RA3000 Cluster Kit supports the RA3000 disk drive shelf (DS-SWXRA-GN). The disk drive shelf contains a UltraSCSI, wide, straight buss device shelf (DS-BA356-JD or equivalent), a second 180 Watt power brick (DS-BA35X-HH), a one half meter UltraSCSI cable (BN37A-0E), plus power cords, mounting bracket and mounting hardware and documentation. The personality card of the disk shelf (DS-BA35X-FA, 70-33067-02) must be revision level H-1 or higher. A lower revision personality card will cause fault light to turn on when no fault is present.

Note: An RA3000 controller shelf (DS-SWXRA-GH/GK) cannot be configured from standard components. All components except the power bricks, UPS, and controller shelf mounting bracket are unique to RA3000.

The RA3000 Cluster Kit does not include:

RA3000 storage enclosure; you must order this separately using part number:

Pedestal version: DS-SWXRA-GA

Rackmount version: DS-SWXRA-GN - includes the mounting kit for the RETMA, Digital and Compaq cabinets. If you want to use a metric cabinet, order the BA35X-RB mounting kit, too.

Base clustering software (DCNT or NTS/E must be purchased separately).

Note: The RA3000 Software Platform Kit only supports Intel-based DIGITAL Servers.
