Introducing the CHALLENGE Vault Rack and SCSIBox 2
Configurations
The CHALLENGE Vault SCSIBox 2 is available in two configurations:
•
single-ended (marketing code P-S-SBX2-XSE)
•
differential (marketing code P-S-SBX2-X)
The single-ended drive box supports only single-ended hard disk drives,
and the differential drive box supports only differential hard drives. The
single-ended drives are normally 8-bit, 50-pin hard disk drives; the
differential drives are normally 16-bit, 68-pin hard drives.
Caution:
If you do not know the type of disks you have, do not attempt to
install the disks into the SCSIBox 2 drive box.
Note:
The SCSIBox 2 does not currently support 16-bit, single-ended drives.
Warning:
Do not attempt to install the SCSIBox 2 into the Vault.
Installation should be performed only by Silicon Graphics-certified
personnel.
Installation of these upgrades requires specific training and technical
knowledge. This equipment utilizes electrical power internally that is
hazardous if the equipment is improperly disassembled.
This equipment is also extremely sensitive and is susceptible to damage
caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is an electrical discharge
(spark) caused by the buildup of electrostatic potential on clothing and
other materials.
Comparing SCSIBox 2s
The SCSI drive box in your Onyx or CHALLENGE rackmount system is also
called a SCSIBox 2 (marketing code P-S-SBX2-M); however, the Vault
SCSIBox 2 and the drive box in your system are two
different
boxes. You
cannot install a Vault SCSIBox 2 into an Onyx or CHALLENGE rackmount
system, or install an Onyx or CHALLENGE SCSIBox 2 into a Vault chassis.
