Installing a DECarray Cabinet
4.1 Configuration Overview
4.1.2 DSSI VAXcluster Configurations
A DSSI VAXcluster configuration is one where the ISEs in the DECarray
cabinet are connected with two or three DSSI adapters on a single DSSI bus.
Tables 4–3 and 4–4 list the building blocks for DSSI VAXcluster configurations
using the SF3x and SF7x storage enclosures.
For further information on DSSI VAXcluster configurations, refer to your
system or DSSI adapter installation manual.
