Configuration Use

H885-AA

Three

68-pin

Trilink connector that attaches to high-density,
68-pin cables or devices, such as a KZPSA-BB,
KZPBA-CB, HSZ40, HSZ50, or the differential
side of a SCSI signal converter. Can be
terminated with an H879-AA terminator to
provide external termination.

H8574-A or
H8860-AA

Low

50-pin

Terminates a TZ885 or TZ887 tape drive.

341102-001

High

50-pin

Terminates a Compaq 20/40 GB DLT Tape Drive

H879-AA

High

68-pin

Terminates an H885-AA trilink connector
or BN21W-0B Y cable.

H8861-AA

VHDCI 68-pin

VHDCI trilink connector that attaches to VHDCI
68-pin cables, UltraSCSI BA356 JA1, and HSZ70
or HSZ80 RAID controllers. Can be terminated
with an H8863-AA terminator if necessary.

H8863-AA

VHDCI 68-pin

Terminate a VHDCI trilink connector.

The requirements for trilink connectors are as follows:

If you connect a SCSI cable to a trilink connector, do not block access to
the screws that mount the trilink, or you will be unable to disconnect the
trilink from the device without disconnecting the cable.

Do not install an H885-AA trilink if installing it will block an adjacent
peripheral component interconnect (PCI) port. Use a BN21W-0B Y cable
instead.
