Note: Netfinity 8500R does not support internal tape drives but does include an external Ultra2 0.8-mm VHDCI SCSI connector for attachment of an external tape or tape enclosure. All tape drives and
enclosures are also supported by PCI Wide Ultra160 SCSI Adapter P/N 19K4646 which has an external 0.8-mm VHDCI connector. Select tape drive, enclosure and controller then use Appendix D: Cables-
Storage Units-Controllers to select an appropriate external cable
1. LVD support for LVD devices installed in a NetMEDIA Storage Expansion Unit EL P/N 03K8756 requires replacement of the standard single-ended internal cables with one or more (depending on
configuration) cables from Media Bay Tray and LVD Cable Kit P/N 10K2340 which contains a single two-drop mult-mode LVD-SCSI terminated cable. If the standard cables are used for attachment to LVD
devices, single-ended SCSI rules and bus speeds apply.
2. Requires 68-pin External Multimode LVD/SE SCSI terminator P/N 00N7956.
3. Tape library attributes and prerequisites are located in Appendix B: Tape Library Attributes.
4. Provides a black desktop 133 mm (5.25”) half-high (HH) tape enclosure. Connector is configurable as 50-pin Centronix or 68-pin high density. Requires either tape drive self termination or 68-pin External
Multimode LVD/SE SCSI Terminator P/N 00N7956.
5. Provides a black desktop DLT tape enclosure with a 68-pin high density external connector. Requires termination by the tape drive or by installation of an External Multimode LVD/SE SCSI terminator
P/N 00N7956.
6. NetMEDIA Storage Expansion Unit EL P/N 03K8756 is a black 3U, 19” rack or NetBAY3/3E mountable tape enclosure which includes two full high (FH) or four half high (HH) extended length 133 mm
(5.25”) bays, two external 68-pin high density connectors and two internal four-drop single-ended terminated 16-bit SCSI cables for device attachment. Two power supplies and two power cords are also
included. Tip: The front rail clips will need to be reversed and screwed in from behind to secure the unit in a Rack Cabinet P/N 930842X.
7. NetMEDIA Systems Management Adapter P/N 10L7113 may be installed in a NetMEDIA Storage Expansion Unit to provide repeater function, LVDS interface, aggregate cable lengths up to 12 meters
when attached to an LVD SCSI controller, and auto-termination when the Expansion Unit is powered off. External connector is 0.8-mm VHDCI.
