In-Cabinet Upgrades (continued)
. .
. .
In-cabinet CD-ROM
. .
. .
• VAX 7000 requires RRDCD-CA option; CD-ROM requires single-ended SCSI-2 connection from KZMSA-AB in
. .
. .
XMI plug-in unit or KZPBA-CA in
. .
. .
PCI plug-in unit.
. .
. .
• If EISA device support or the RAID Configuration Utility is required, select RRDCD-CA for space to mount
. .
floppy disk drive; floppy drive included with KFE70 or KFE72 option.
. .
. .
• CD-ROM device in StorageWorks shelf operates from PCI SCSI controller; DWZZA-VA is not supported.
. .
. .
• All connections to CD-ROM device will stop at device; additional devices are not supported.
. .
. .
In-cabinet CD-ROM assembly, maximum of one per system; required if no CD-ROM device exists
. .
. .
in system being upgraded; includes CD-ROM device, mounting hardware, BN21H-0H cable
. .
. .
(0.75 m); order longer cable to reach XMI plug-in unit or PCI plug-in unit
. .
. .
. .
. .
In-Cabinet 3-phase Power Expansion
. .
. .
• If VAX/DEC 7000 being upgraded includes one H7263 power regulator, check equivalent power units to
. .
. .
determine if second power regulator is required; see Power Configuration Table.
. .
. .
3-phase 48 VDC power regulator with BBU capability; maximum of three per cabinet; second
. .
regulator may be required to supply adequate power depending on configuration; third regulator
. .
. .
assures N+1 power redundancy and higher availability in the event of power regulator failure.
. .
. .
Same as H7263-AA/AB except no built-in battery backup (BBU) capability
. .
. .
. .
. .
VAX/DEC 7000 to AlphaServer GS140 In-Cabinet SMP Upgrades
. .
. .
• Maximum of seven SMP modules (14 CPUs); if more than three modules are in system, a minimum of two
. .
. .
separate memory module should be ordered for optimal system performance
. .
. .
One VAX/DEC 7000 CPU module to GS140 6/525 dual-CPU module with OpenVMS SMP
. .
