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
