Compaq AA-RHGWB-TE manual

To prepare two UltraSCSI BA356 storage shelves for shared SCSI bus usage, (see Figure 9–11) follow these steps:

1.Complete the steps of Section 9.4.1.3 for each UltraSCSI BA356. Ensure that the personality module address switches on one UltraSCSI BA356 are set to select SCSI IDs 0 through 6 and the address switches on the other UltraSCSI BA356 personality module are set to select SCSI IDs 8 through 14.

2.You will need two H8861-AA VHDCI trilink connectors. If either of the UltraSCSI BA356 storage shelves will be on the end of the SCSI bus, attach an a H8863-AA terminator to one of the H8861-AA trilink connectors. Install the trilink with the terminator on connector JA1 of the DS-BA35X-DA personality module of the UltraSCSI BA356 that will be on the end of the SCSI bus. Install the other H8861-AA trilink on JA1 of the DS-BA35X-DA personality module of the other UltraSCSI BA356.

3.Connect a BN37A VHDCI to VHDCI cable between the H8861-AA trilink connectors on the UltraSCSI BA356s.

4.When the KZPSA-BBs or KZPBA-CBs are installed:

•If one of the UltraSCSI BA356s is on the end of the SCSI bus, install a BN38C (or BN38D) HD68 to VHDCI cable between one of the BN21W-0B Y cables (on the host bus adapters) and the open connector on the H8861-AA trilink connector on the DS-BA35X-DA personality module. Connect the BN21W-0B Y cables on the two member system host adapters together with a BN21K (or BN21L) cable.

•If the UltraSCSI BA356s are in the middle of the SCSI bus, install a BN38C (or BN38D) HD68 to VHDCI cable between the BN21W-0B Y cable on each host bus adapter and the open connector on the H8861-AA trilink connector on the DS-BA35X-DA personality modules.
