Installing the SF7x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet

6.6 Cabling the SF7x in a DECarray Cabinet

6.6.3 Stripeset Conﬁgurations

Stripeset conﬁgurations start with a standard DSSI VAXcluster variant. To

conﬁgure the system for stripesets, all SF7x enclosures must be set to split-bus

mode.

Perform the following procedure on each SF7x enclosure in the DECarray

cabinet.

CAUTION

To maintain stability, extend only one storage enclosure or magazine

tape ISE on the slide mounts at a time.

a. Loosen the four captive slide assembly screws. Slide the inner assembly

out until the drawer locks in the service position.

b. Push the inner assembly forward from the rear.

Note

Do NOT completely remove the inner drawer assembly from the

extrusion tube and extend only one at a time.

c. Reconﬁgure the TTM for split-bus mode by ﬁrst moving the small black

jumper to the split-bus terminals, then moving cable connectors to the

right pair of sockets (see Figure 6–20).

d. Push the inner drawer back in, replace the front cover door, and tighten

the four front door screws. To prevent pinching any cables, be sure that all

cables are dressed correctly.
