Options
Step 4 − I/O Expansion Buses − Optional
•Systems include one PCI Plug-in Unit (PIU) DWLPB-AA, maximum two supported in system cabinet
•Each DWLPB-AA PCI PIU includes 12-slot PCI bus and uses one rear expansion bay; StorageWorks BA670 PIU can occupy the corresponding front expansion bay.
•Each DWLPB-AA PCI PIU has one open space for the addition of DWLPB-BA (second PCI expansion box) or one BA671 Wide-UltraSCSI StorageWorks shelf
•Each PCI Plug-in Unit requires one I/O channel connection to KFTHA-AA
•Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS systems support a maximum of 12 I/O channels with up to three KFTHAs
Note: DWLPAs are not supported on GS140 systems and upgrades. | |
PCI Plug-in-Unit with one PCI box for GS140 system cabinet only; requires one I/O channel | DWLPB-AA |
connection on KFTHA-AA, maximum two per system cabinet, two per system | |
Second PCI expansion box for mounting in DWLPB-AA; requires one I/O channel connection on | DWLPB-BA |
KFTHA-AA, maximum one per DWLPB-AA | |
Note: KFE70-AA and KFE72-EA are not supported concurrently on same system; however, either option can be used to run RAID Configuration Utility (RCU).
UltraSCSI Single Channel StorageWorks Shelf (DS-BA356-LE) can be added to DWLPB-AA/AB in | BA671-AA |
place of second PCI expansion box (DWLPB-BA/BB); supports 16-bit (Wide) SCSI and some 8-bit | |
(Narrow) SCSI devices; maximum one per DWLPB-AA/AB, maximum six per system | |
UltraSCSI Dual Channel StorageWorks Shelf (DS-BA356-LF) can be added to DWLPB-AA/AB in | BA671-AB |
place of second PCI expansion box (DWLPB-BA/BB); supports 16-bit (Wide) SCSI and some 8-bit | |
(Narrow) SCSI devices; maximum one per DWLPB-AA/AB, maximum six per system | |
Step 5 − System I/O Modules − Optional
•KFTHA-AA system I/O module included with systems; two additional KFTHA I/O modules can be added for a system maximum of three; for multi-IOP support (up to three KFTHA-AA modules), GS140 6/525 system must have at least one Rev D01 or later CPU module installed.
System I/O module with four I/O channels for PCI Plug-in Unit | KFTHA-AA |
Step 6 − Storage Adapters/Controllers − Optional
•Tru64 UNIX V4.0B without VGA support, or V4.0D or later with VGA, supports eight SCSI controllers per PCI, maximum 64 per system.
•OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 or later supports eight SCSI controllers per PCI, maximum 26 per system
•For maximum controllers per PCI, required System Console Firmware Revision is 5.2-7 or later for 8400, or 5.3- 12 or later for GS140
•PCI controllers can be added to all systems
•Requires corresponding PCI Plug-in Unit (DWLPB-AA/AB/BA/BB)
•System maximum of four KZPAC SCSI RAID controllers
•Tape and optical devices are not supported on KZPAC SCSI RAID controllers.
•Order Rear Door Expansion Kit, H9FDK-BA (top gun blue), for cable management on systems configured with more than 12 SCSI controllers.
•For cluster configurations, use Y cable (BN39A-0G) or SCSI Hub (BA35X-03/05)
•DS-BA35X-DA UltraSCSI personality module required to connect DS-BA356-LE StorageWorks Shelf to a KZPSA-BB or KZPBA-CB Differential SCSI adapter
•OpenVMS V7.1-1H1 or later supports multi-host SCSI clusters
•Manufacturing may substitute correct cable length depending on configuration
•OpenVMS systems with greater than 1-GB memory require the following TIMA patch kits to support KZPAC options: V6.2 kit-ALPDRIV04_062 and V7.1 kit-ALPDRIV01_071
