SCSI-2 DISKS

ITEM: RTA000041042



QUESTION:                                                                       
URGENT: The customer is looking at a model 590 with six internal                
SCSI-2 disks.  Two of the disks will be 1.0GB (Stnd Feature), and               
Four of the disks will be 2.0GB Disks.  The customer wants the six              
disks spread across two SCSI-2 internal controllers.  I have ordered            
F2831 (additional SCSI-2 Internal I/O Ctrl), and the box comes                  
standard with F9219 (Stnd int SCSI-2 I/O Ctrl).  How will Austin Mfg            
spread the two internal SCSI-2 disks across the six disks ?

QUESTION:                                                                       
I must know how the SCSI adapters are connected to the internal disk            
drive.  I have talked with my CE, and he has stated it is a billable            
activity to spread the SCSI-2 adapters across multiple disks at the             
customer site.  Also, there is the issue of wether the internal                
cabling is available to do this.                                                
                                                                                
   The Internal SCSI-2 cable has 6 drops.  This means that any disk             
   could be cabled to either Adapter.  It is recommended to attach both         
   half high disk in the same bay to the same adapter.                          
                                                                                
   The Standard Internal SCSI-2 Controller in Micro Channel position            
   8 would be connected to the Disk(s) in bay E.  The second Internal           
   SCSI-2 Controller (FC2831) in Micro Channel position 7 would be              
   connected to the Disk(s) in bays F and G.
