Connecting the HP ProLiant DL380 G3 (VT5901)
The VT5901 are built on a 2U (3.5 inch) chassis and provides an internal 72GB DAT72 tape
drive and four SCSI buses (limited to two virtual tape drives numbered 1 and 2). This system
does not include a Fibre Channel adapter and does not support connection to external storage.
In addition, there are five 300GB SCSI drives for storage. Two of the SCSI buses are for
connecting external tape drives, if desired. Two of them are for virtual tape drives.
The recommended cable connection order for the SCSI converter attached to a VT5901 is as
follows:
HVD Bus A HVD Bus B HVD Bus C HVD Bus D
To NonStop server To NonStop server
LVD Bus A LVD Bus B LVD Bus C LVD Bus D
To bus 0 (PCI-X slot
3A) on VTS server
To bus 1 (PCI-X slot
3B) on VTS server
