Duplexing
IMPORTANT
Novell Netware software must be used when setting up the system for the duplexing function to work.
COMPAQ Computer Corporation also supports one duplexing configuration. Duplexing is sup- ported with two separate controllers plugged separately into the System Bus, and requires the use of two 300-/600-Megabyte expansion units, each equipped with two 300-Megabyte fixed disk drives. The two fixed disks in each unit connect to a single adapter board, and to an external fixed disk drive controller via a single cable. This configuration would have two expansion units, four 300-Megabyte fixed disk drives, and two ex- ternal fixed disk drive controllers plugged into the system bus. In this particular setup, each fixed disk drive would duplex (and duplicate) a drive in the other unit as shown in Figure 9-4.
