Examples of Use for SCSI Technology
The length of the cables used between nodes and DAS is per default of 6m. Such a 6m
cable allows to dispatch the CPU drawers (Nodes) and the DAS drawers in separate racks.
The 3m cable is used between a node and a DAS drawer located within a same rack. The
ordering document mentions the position of the CPU drawers and the DAS drawers in the
racks. This comment applies to examples shown in Figure 75 to Figure 78.
Regarding cables used between nodes, the 2.5 m long cable is used between nodes in
different racks whereas the cable of 0.6m length is used between nodes in a same rack. In
any case the total length of all the used cables must not exceed 18m.
There are two types of Y cables. CKTG070 cables are used with PCI adapters
(EPC1200/A/2400/440 and EPC400/430 nodes) whereas CKTG049 cables are for MCA
adapters (EPC800 nodes).
CAUTION:
Remove any SCSI terminators on the SCSI adapter. External terminators must be
used in a HACMP cluster. If you terminate the shared SCSI bus on the adapter, you
lose termination when the cluster node that contains the adapter fails.
So, for instance, before connecting the Y cable on an EPC1200/A/2400/400 node, you must
remove the terminator (P/N 42G3326) of the PCI Differential Ultra SCSI adapter (type 4-L
FC 6207).
