NOTES

NOTES:
Use 2-meter cable to connect adapters, controllers, and shelf within the GS80 cabinet.
Use 10-meter cable to connect adapters, controllers to shelves in attached H9A20 expander cabinets.
Use 10-to 25-meter cables to connect adapters, controllers to shelves in remote expander cabinets.

HVD to LVD Converters

HVD (High Voltage Differential) adapters and LVD (Low Voltage Differential) devices are normally
incompatible due to their different signaling voltage levels. This incompatibility does not allow direct
communication between the different technologies. The HVD to LVD converter allows connectivity
between legacy HVD Host Bus Adapters and today's LVD devices. The converter provides:

Connectivity in direct attach or shared configurations of all currently available LVD devices,
including disks, tapes, libraries, and shelves (4314 or 4354) when used with the KZPBA-CB
and 3X-KZPBA-CC HVD adapters. With the retirement of StorageWorks 1 disks and HVD
shelves (BA36R), converters are desirable where upgrades to LVD HBAs, or upgrades to
current operating system versions are not possible.
Shared and direct attach configurations are interconnected much the same as those previously
configured with homogeneous HVD solutions, except that the HVD output is now passed
through the converter before proceeding to the LVD device. Where required, Y cables
(BN21W-0B), terminators (H879-AA), cables (BN38C-10, BN37A-20), one or two HVD/LVD
converters (one-port, two-port), Memory Channel adapters (CCMAB), one Memory Channel
cable
(BN39B-10), are used in conjunction with the LVD device of choice.
