    Cannot be used with the KZQSA 5140-V5 Performance Compaq’s VAX SCSI adapters bring state of the art Ultra SCSI disks and tapes to the VAX architecture, and significantly increase the I/O throughput available. For single block, sequential I/O (512 bytes) the Compaq adapters are capable of doing 5000 I/Os per second, running OpenVMS to Ultra SCSI disks.
  • Page 14: Adapter Installation

    Adapter Installation Termination Compaq VAX™-SCSI Ultra SCSI Host adapters include on-board Differential SCSI drivers and termination. The Comapq adapter is always at the end of the SCSI chain, and therefore always must terminate the SCSI bus. An external SCSI Connector and cabling is provided for connection to external SCSI devices.
