Step 7—Storage

Note: When multiple storage devices are configured with the system, specify which devices should be installed inside the system cabinet, inside the system expansion cabinet, or installed in the external StorageWorks cabinet. Line item sequencing allows Manufacturing to configure storage options in the appropriate cabinet.

-List storage options to be integrated in system cabinet immediately following the system part number.

-List storage options to be integrated in StorageWorks cabinet immediately following StorageWorks cabinet part number.

-Order the appropriate BN21*-** SCSI cables for connecting controllers and SCSI storage options.

Wide SCSI devices are supported in BA660-AB/BA661-AA StorageWorks PIUs, or external StorageWorks cabinets. BA660-AB/BA661-AA support both wide and narrow SCSI 5400 RPM and 7200 RPM disk drives.

System cabinet provides space for four disk plug-in units (PIU) if no PCI or XMI plug-in units are installed. Each of the two pairs of expansion bays (front to back) in bottom of system cabinet can hold one Battery PIU, one XMI PIU, one PCI PIU, one PCI PIU plus one SCSI disk PIU, one SCSI disk PIU, or two SCSI disk PIUs.

System cabinet provides space for up to seven StorageWorks shelves—three BA660-AB plug-in-units (each includes two StorageWorks shelves) and one BA661-AA StorageWorks shelf. Each shelf holds a maximum of two 5.25” devices and one 3.5” device or seven 3.5” devices. Typical configurations will require a signal converter, i.e., DWZZB-VW which counts as one 3.5” device.

Wide SCSI Options

StorageWorks shelves (BA356-xx) are normally configured in single bus mode (seven SCSI devices per shelf). To configure BA356-xx shelf in split-bus mode the following options are required:

-Split-bus terminator (BA35X-ME)

-SCSI controller for each active SCSI port

-SCSI cables to connect each controller to BA356-xx shelf

BA660-AB *

Wide SCSI-2 StorageWorks plug-in-unitincludes two BA356-LB modular expansion shelves, 16-

 

bit I/O personality module, 48V/150W DC power supply, DC fans, and AlphaServer 8400 mounting

 

hardware. Supports 16-bit wide SCSI devices and some 8-bit narrow SCSI devices depending on

 

compliance with minimum hardware revision levels.

BA661-AA *

Wide SCSI-2 StorageWorks Shelf includes 16-bit I/O personality module, 48V/150W DC power

 

supply, DC fans, mounting hardware and BA356-LB.Can be added to DWLPB-AA/AB in place of

 

second PCI expansion box (DWLPB-BA/BB). Maximum one BA661-AA per DWLPB-AA/AB;

 

maximum six BA661-AA per system. Supports 16-bit (wide) SCSI and some 8-bit (narrow) SCSI

 

devices.

DWZZB-VW

Wide SCSI-2 StorageWorks Signal Converter—required to convert FWD signals from KFTIA-AA

 

and KZPSA-BB for use in BA660-AB and BA661-AA/BA.
