Virtual TapeServer 6.02.00 Installation Guide

HP Virtual TapeServer Installation Guide 11 HP Part Number 528654-006 Sept 2006
NonStop S-series server must have a male MD68 connector. The other end must also have a
male MD68 connector to plug into the top row of female MD68 connectors on the Virtual
TapeServer SCSI interface conversion module. Cable length to the NonStop S-series server is
limited to 25 meters (82 feet). Use high quality cables of the shortest possible length based on
the location of the equipment. PMF, IOMF, and ServerNet controllers use external or pass
through termination where the cable plugs into the silver terminator. The PMF2 and IOMF2
controllers use internal termination with the cable plugging directly into the controller.

Cabling the SCSI Interface Conversion Module to the
Virtual TapeServer Server Module
When the cabling between the Virtual TapeServer SCSI interface conversion module and
NonStop S-series server is complete, connect the Virtual TapeServer SCSI interface conversion
module to the Virtual TapeServer server module. The Virtual TapeServer server module uses
LVD SCSI with a VHDCI style connector. Virtual TapeServer SCSI termination is handled
internally, so external termination is not required.
