Single-Bus Mode Configurations

For a single-bus mode configuration, the SCSI Bus Split switch on the switch card
of a 2104 Model DU3 must be set to Off.

Each 2104 Model DU3 can be connected to one external SCSI connector on a
SCSI adapter card, or to one integrated SCSI port, in a using system. If an adapter
card has four external SCSI connectors, it can be connected to up to four 2104s
(Model DU3 or TU3).

For High Availability Cluster Multi-Processing (HACMP) configurations, the two
SCSI interface cards in a 2104 are connected either to external SCSI connectors on
adapter cards, or to integrated Ultra2 SCSI ports, in two different using systems.
The adapter cards must be a PCI Dual-Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapters (Type 4-R,
feature 6205) or a PCI Dual-Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter (type 4-Y, feature 6203).

For non-HACMP configurations, the SCSI interface cards in a 2104 can be
connected either to an external SCSI connector on an adapter card, or to an Ultra2
SCSI integrated port, in a using system. Each adapter card must be a PCI
Dual-Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapters (Type 4-R, feature 6205) or a PCI
Dual-Channel Ultra3 SCSI Adapter (type 4-Y, feature 6203). The adapters can be in
the same using system or in two different using systems. However, they must not
share access to the disk drives in the 2104.
