Installation guide

For embedded storage, a VAX 6000 can have a maximum of eight RF drives
and a TF tape drive in the system control assembly box. A full system
cabinet can be connected with one or two KFMSA adapters.
A single-host system can connect to a maximum of two SF2xx storage array
cabinets. See Figure 3–8. One full SF2xx storage array cabinet requires
two KFMSA adapters to connect to a single host. If you have two full
SF2xxs, then four KFMSA adapters are required.
On single-host systems, SF7x enclosures can be cabled as either split-bus
or through-bus.
