3.6 UltraSCSI Hubs

The DS-DWZZH series UltraSCSI hubs are UltraSCSI signal converters that provide radial connections of differential SCSI bus adapters and RAID array controllers. Each connection forms a SCSI bus segment with SCSI bus adapters or the storage unit. The hub provides termination for one end

of the bus segment. Termination for the other end of the bus segment is provided by the:

Installed KZPBA-CB (or KZPSA-BB) termination resistor SIPs

External termination on a trilink connector attached to an UltraSCSI BA356 personality module (DS-BA35X-DA), HSZ70, or HSZ80

______________________ Note _______________________

The DS-DWZZH-03/05 UltraSCSI hubs cannot be connected to a StorageWorks BA35X storage shelf because the storage shelf does not provide termination power to the hub.

3.6.1 Using a DWZZH UltraSCSI Hub in a Cluster Configuration

The DS-DWZZH-03 and DS-DWZZH-05 UltraSCSI hubs are supported in a TruCluster Server cluster. They both provide radial connection of cluster member systems and storage, and are similar in the following ways:

Contain internal termination for each port; therefore, the hub end of each SCSI bus segment is terminated.

_____________________ Note _____________________

Do not put trilinks on a DWZZH UltraSCSI hub beacuse it is not possible to remove the DWZZH internal termination.
