Typical SCSI Channel Configurations

CAUTION:

VHDCI connectors are easily damaged by improper handling. Visually

inspect each connector for bent contacts and carefully align prior to

insertion.

NOTES:

The installation, configuration, and use of the StorCase InfoStation chas-

sis requires a certain level of expertise and experience on the part of the

user/integrator. Since there are many configuration options and variables

(ie. host platforms, applications, etc), only general/typical configuration

guidelines will be discussed in this User's Guide.

Up to fifteen (15) drives maximum per SCSI channel.

For SCSI Ultra320 operation, the InfoStation requires Ultra320 drives,

Ultra320 HBA, Ultra320-compliant cabling (internal and external), and

Ultra320 repeater modules installed.

Additional I/O repeater modules are available as an upgrade. Refer to

Appendix B for further information.
