Connecting the HP ProLiant DL380 G4 (VT5900-B and VT5900-C)
The VT5900-B and VT5900-C were built on a 2U (3.5 inch) chassis and provides four SCSI ports,
numbered 0-3. The VT5900-C has a dual-channel Fibre Channel card but no DAT72 drive and is shipped
with two (mirrored) 36GB SCSI drives, for use by the software only. Optional six SCSI disks (146GB or
300GB) are available to give this unit internal storage. The six SCSI disks replace the two 36GB
drives. The VT5900-B model allows the use of all four SCSI ports for connecting virtual tape drives.
The VT5900-C model allows the use of all four SCSI ports or the two Fibre Channel ports for
connecting virtual tape drives.
The recommended cable connection order for the SCSI converter attached to a VT5900-B and VT5900-
C is as follows:
