Disk Subsystems Cabling Requirements
Put the disks in the increasing order of their bar–code number, starting by the front (slot on
the left hand) and continuing by the rear (slot on the left hand). The loop includes an
adapter on each node.
Additional diagrams illustrate the possible use of Optic Fibre Extender for implementing
Powercluster with 500m distance between peer nodes and peer SSA disk subsystems as an
answer to disaster recovery.

Mixed Configurations
The following table shows the possible mixing of SSA adapters and number of initiators in
an SSA loop, according to the SSA adapter type.

Legend: ”FC” = Feature code, ”–” = mix not possible.
Non–array disk drives and not configured for fast–write operations are assumed for sharing
SSA disk subsystems.
Notes:
1. Only MCA adapters (6216) available on EPC800 nodes allows the sharing of SSA
disk subsystems between 2 or more nodes (up to 8 adapters on a loop).
