E-Qip; Scsi Bus Expansion Module - Spectra Logic T-Series Spectra T200 User Manual

E-QIP

Using SCSI drives on a Gigabit Ethernet (iSCSI) network requires an
Ethernet QIP (E-QIP). The E-QIP has two integrated dual-channel ports
(Port A and Port B), which can provide connections to two separate
networks or redundant connections to a single network. Each port
provides an any-to-any connection to the four tape drives controlled by the
E-QIP. Activity LEDs indicate SCSI bus activity (data transfer to or from
the attached drives).

When using direct-attach SCSI drives, a bus expansion module must be
installed in the controller bay to the right of the drives in the DBA. The bus
expansion module has four Ultra-3 SCSI "LVD" Fast & Wide, 68-pin
Micro D female connectors to provide the second SCSI bus connection for
each drive. To learn more about the role the bus expansion module plays
when using direct-attach SCSI drives, see
