Key Digital 8400 Non-Backplane External Storage Controllers, XMI-based Storage Controllers

	AlphaServer 8400
Step 6—Storage Controllers (continued)
CIPCA-AA	PCI-to-CI Adapter (OpenVMS only)— Requires OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 or V7.1, minimum System
	Console Firmware Revision 4.0-4. Maximum four per PCI, 26 per system running OpenVMS V7.1.
	Uses one PCI slot for adapter and one EISA slot for power only. Note: KFE70 option is not required.
CIPCA-BA	Same as above except uses two PCI slots
BNCIA-xx	Computer interconnect cable sets— Connects CIPCA to Star Coupler. Select required length—10, 20,
	or 45 m (10 m = 32.8 ft, 20 m = 65.6 ft, 45 m = 147.6 ft)

Note: For OpenVMS systems with greater than 1 GB of memory, the following TIMA patch kits are required to support KZPAC op- tions:V 6.2 kit-ALPDRIV04_062; V7.1 kit-ALPDRIV01_071.

XMI-based Storage Controllers

KZMSA-AB	Fast single-ended SCSI-2 Disk/Tape Adapter— OpenVMS supports six per XMI, maximum 12 per
	system. DIGITAL UNIX supports 10 per XMI, maximum 16 per system (uses one XMI slot).
	Provides two single-ended SCSI-2 buses. KZMSA supports DECsafe Available Server.
CK-KZMSA-LA	Two 30” internal cabinet cables — One kit per KZMSA required.
CIXCD-AC	XMI CI Controller— OpenVMS supports four per XMI, maximum 10 per system. DIGITAL UNIX
	supports one per XMI, maximum one per system (uses one XMI slot). The CIXCD requires one
	BNCIA cable set to connect system to Star Coupler. OpenVMS Cluster software license required for
	each system when multiple OpenVMS systems are used in cluster environment. Note: One CIXCD is
	supported on DIGITAL UNIX systems for expanded disk interconnect capability only.
BNCIA-xx	Computer interconnect cable sets— Connects Star Coupler to system and SW800. Select required
	length—10, 20, or 45 m (10 m = 32.8 ft, 20 m = 65.6 ft, 45 m = 147.6 ft).

Step 6a—Non-Backplane External Storage Controllers

HSZ50 family of SCSI Storage Array Controllers are supported under DIGITAL UNIX V3.2G and V4.0A and OpenVMS V6.2-1H3. A DIGITAL UNIX patch OSF405-034 is required for dual redundant failover.

HSJ50 family of CI Storage Array Controllers are supported under OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 with CIPCA-AA/BA or CIXCD-AC CI controllers. QB-5C4AA-SA software kits are required for each external cache (1 for HSJ50, 2 for HSJ52, 4 for HSJ54).

HSD50 family of DSSI Storage Array Controllers are supported under OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 with minimum SRM console version V4.1-6.

-Controllers require KZPSA, KZMSA, KFPSA, CIXCD or CIPCA SCSI adapters or controllers, as appropriate.

-HSZ50-Ax requires one QB-5CJAA-SA kit.

-HSZ52-Ax requires two QB-5CJAA-SA kits.

-HSZ54-AJ requires four QB-5CJAA-SA kits.
