P/N: 12-56536-01
Note:
Included in the 3X-BN55A-01 Y-cable kit is an HD68 SCSI black connector plug (P/N: 12-10015-
01) that MUST be installed in the internal SCSI connector of the KZPEA for proper shared bus
operation. If only one of the two channels are to be used in a shared bus configuration make sure
that the connector plug is attached to the correct internal SCSI connector associated with that bus
for each KZPEA adapter.
SCSI Cabling Considerations for Shared Bus Support with Configuration A
The maximum LVD bus length for KZPEA shared SCSI bus support is 12 meters (39 feet). This includes
the combined length of the two y-cables and the two SCSI cables as well as KZPEA and tape internal bus
lengths. The y-cables are 0.7 meters each.
Signal cables between the mid-node and the tape drive:

The maximum allowable SCSI bus length for this configuration is achieved by using a 6 foot 313375-001
cable and a 24 foot 313374-004 cable.
