AS2100[A] come equipped with a StorageWorks 7 slot SCSI cage. A second cage

can be added inside the cabinet. AS2000 has a single 7 slot SCSI cage,

which cannot be expanded with an additional one. Note that the slot

locations in these cages map differently to SCSI IDs compared to the

standard StorageWorks shelves. Slot IDs from top to bottom

are 0, 4, 1, 5, 2, 6, 3 when using a single bus configuration. The cage
|

can also be set to provide two independent SCSI buses. This is used for
|

embedded RAID controllers like the KZPSC (Mylex DAC960). Slot ID assignments

for split bus are, from top to bottom: 0A, 0B, 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B.

terminator module on the back of the SCSI cage is on the TOP. The jumper

reversed. The terminator can be distinguished from the jumper by noting the

chips on the terminator. The jumper does not have any active components on

it.
