Chapter 1. Using the Subsystems
This section describes the 7133 Models D40 and T40 Serial Disk Systems, their
controls, and how to use them. These systems are Serial Storage Architecture (SSA)
disk subsystems.
For similar information about the 7133 Models 010, 020, 500, and 600 SSA Disk
Subsystems, refer to the 7133 SSA Disk Subsystem: Operator Guide, GA33-3259.
Rack-Mounted Unit Configurations
7133 Model D40 is a rack-mounted SSA disk storage unit that can be attached to any
computer that provides support for SSA. Up to 16 SSA disk drive modules, in groups of
up to four, can be installed in a Model D40 unit.
Each group of disk drives in a 7133 unit is connected in a loop that must also contain
an SSA adapter. An SSA loop can also contain other groups of disk drives and
additional SSA adapters. The rules for connecting SSA loops and details of simple
configurations are described in the 7133 Model D40: Installation Guide.
With a 7133 Model D40, an Advanced SSA Optical Extender (Pair) feature can be
installed. This allows the 7133 unit to be connected by fibre optic cables to host
systems or other SSA units up to 10 km (32800 feet) away.
