4 Cable the VTS server
You must cable the VTS server to the host server, then cable to any external storage devices.
Connect the VT5900-H
Here is an illustration of the back of the VT5900-H (base model):
The SCSI card in slot 4 may be replaced by a dual-port 2Gb Fibre Channel card (VT5900-FCU).
If the host server requires an HVD SCSI connection, such as the NonStop S-series, you must
connect the VTS server to the SCSI converter, and then connect the SCSI converter to the host
server. Here is an illustration of the HVD and LVD ports on the back of the SCSI converter:
As a best practice, use all 4Gb ports first and connect the external disk array or external tape
device to a 4Gb port. Then, if necessary, connect external storage to the 2Gb ports, which may
provide half the performance as the 4Gb ports.
