Product Overview

1.4.2 Modular Storage Shelf Subsystem (BA35x-Sx)

This section provides a brief description of the modular storage shelf subsystem.

1.4.2.1 Overview

The StorageWorks disk drive subsystem is a rackmount storage resource provided to solution developers and service developers creating applications on the AlphaServer IP Platform. The shelves are contained in a separate chassis that provides a flexible capacity for adding and hot-swapping disks.

The shelf is a self-contained unit with embedded backplane routing with two SCSI buses. It can be configured for maximum connectivity (1 SCSI bus) or for maximum performance (2 SCSI buses).

Each StorageWorks modular storage shelf houses all the application storage disks in a rackmount shelf. The following table lists the type of disks that can be used. For additional information, see the BA350 Modular Storage Shelf Subsystem Configuration Guide.

1.4.3 ISA Bus Expansion Chassis

This section describes the ISA bus expansion chassis.

1.4.3.1 Overview

The I-Bus4820-2819enclosure is used as a 20-slot ISA bus expansion chassis for the AlphaServer 1000A system. The ISA bus expansion chassis contains all Dialogic voice modules for its associated AlphaServer 1000A simplex and duplex systems. The I-Bus 4820- 2819 enclosure contains an alarm sensor module which monitors temperature, dc power, and cooling fan rotation. If any of these reach a point of failure, an alarm signal is sent to the AlphaServer 1000A.

The ISA bus expansion chassis connects to the AlphaServer 1000A system as follows:

∙The ISA bus expansion chassis connects to the AlphaServer 1000A EISA bus by means of the AT (ISA) bus expansion kit (PN 2T-VC220-IP).

∙The ISA bus expansion chassis alarm inputs connect to the AlphaServer 1000A system by means of a cable.
