2.0 Applicable Standards and Reference Documentation The VC1-250 module has been developed to the highest standards of design and construction. The module and storage device(s) depends on its host equipment to provide adequate power and environment for optimum performance and compliance with applicable industry and governmental regulations.
VMEbus system slots. The VC1-250 can be configured for attachment to the SAS bus utilizing either the VME P2 connector or the front panel SAS 4-lane external connector receptacle. Both attachment methods provide contact for up to four physical links.
3.2 SAS / SATA Connection via VME Backplane The VC1-250 can be configured for attachment to the SAS bus utilizing the VME P2 connector. An adapter card which plugs into the back of the VME backplane to connect to the SAS bus and cables to the host is typically required for this configuration.
Considerations For Installation VMEbus Slot Requirements The VC1-250 requires one slot in a standard VMEbus 6U card cage. Many drives have a steel cover, which could potentially cause a shorting problem. If you are going to have a VMEbus card located in the next adjacent slot, carefully check it to make sure that no leads are likely to touch the top of the drives mounted on the VC1-250 module.
Assure that all power is removed from the VME backplane prior to inserting the VC1-250 module into the card cage. Align the VC1-250 module into its respective card cage slot card guides and slide the module in until the P1 and P2 connectors initially mate. Apply pressure to the ejector handles to fully seat the module / connectors.
