AlphaServer 8400

Step 5—System I/O Modules

KFTIA-AA system I/O module included with Base Server; KFTHA-AA included with Expanded Base Server—any combination of KFTIA or KFTHA modules can be added for a maximum of three.

-Maximum twelve I/O channels available on AlphaServer 8400. System Building Block requires the selection of one I/O module.

KFTHA-AA

System I/O module with four I/O channels for PCI or XMI plug-in units

KFTIA-AA

System I/O module with one I/O channel for PCI or XMI plug-in units. Includes

 

- two 802.3 twisted-pair Ethernet ports—requires BN26M cable per port

 

- single-ended SCSI-2 port—requires BN21H cable

 

- three FWD (Fast Wide Differential) SCSI-2 ports—requires CK-KFTIA-AA and

 

BN21K cable per port

 

One of the following optional FDDI daughter cards can be added to KFTIA-AA—see Step 8 for

 

cables.

 

- Single attachment station multi-mode fiber card (DEFPZ-AA) or

 

- Twisted-pair copper card (DEFPZ-UA)

 

Prestoserve (DJ-ML300-BA) can be added to KFTIA-AA

BN26M-xx

Ethernet twisted-pair cable; 8-pin MP to 8-pin MP, screened, EIA/TIA Category 5 cable.

BN21H-xx

SCSI-2 Single-ended cable; 50-pin male straight to 50-pin male straight. Connects KFTIA-AA

 

single-ended SCSI-2 port to StorageWorks shelf.

CK-KFTIA-AA

Cabinet kit for FWD (Fast Wide Differential) SCSI-2 port. One kit required for each used port on

 

KFTIA-AA, maximum three per KFTIA-AA. Cabinet kit includes Y-cable and FWD terminator.

BN21K-xx

SCSI-2 Fast Wide Differential cables; 68-pin male straight to 68-pin male right-angle. Connects

 

KFTIA-AA Fast Wide Differential SCSI-2 ports to DWZZA-VA or DWZZB-VW.

BN21K-02*

Connects from KFTIA FWD port to DWZZB-VW in BA660-AB System cabinet (rear)

 

Connects from KFTIA FWD port to DWZZB-VW in BA661-AA in DWLPB-xx PIU

BN21K-03*

Connects from KFTIA FWD port to DWZZB-VW in BA660-AB System cabinet (front)

BN21K-05/10

Connects from KFTIA FWD port to DWZZB-VW in BA660-AB Expansion cabinet (front or rear)

 

Connects from KFTIA FWD port to DWZZB-VW in BA356-JB in SW500 and SW800 Cabinets

* Manufacturing may substitute correct cable length depending on configuration.

Step 6—Storage Controllers

KFTIA-AA included with each Base Server; KFTHA-AA included with Expanded Base Server—PCI, EISA, and XMI storage controllers can be added.

- Requires corresponding PCI plug-in unit (DWLPB- AA/AB/BA/BB) or XMI plug-in unit (DWLMA- AA/BA).

DWZZA-AA requires minimum revision E02 for connecting any Fast Wide Differential SCSI-2 port from KFTIA-AA or KZPSA-BB to TZ8xx tape loaders.

PCI-based Storage Controllers

DWZZB-VW Fast Wide Differential Single-ended SCSI Converter requires minimum revision A01 for connecting FWD SCSI-2 signals from KFTIA-AA or KZPSA-BB to BA356-JB StorageWorks Shelf.

System maximum of four KZPSC or KZPAC SCSI RAID controllers.

Tape and optical devices are not supported on KZPSC or KZPAC SCSI RAID controllers.

KZPSA-BB

PCI Fast Wide Differential SCSI Adapter— OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 supports eight per PCI,

 

maximum 26 per system. DIGITAL UNIX supports eight per PCI, maximum 32 per system (uses one

 

PCI slot). Provides one SCSI-2 bus. KZPSA supports DECsafe Available Server.

BN21K-xx

SCSI-2 Fast Wide Differential cables68-pin male straight to 68-pin male right-angle. Connects

 

KZPSA-BB Fast Wide Differential SCSI-2 port to DWZZA-VA or DWZZB-VW.

BN21K-01*
