6611.0. "HS241-BX DSSI cable part no.?" by MOVIES::HARRIS (It's got to be turn-onable & turn-offable) Tue Apr 22 1997 18:05

    
    What's the cable part no. (KFESB to HS1CP tri-link) in the HS241-BX
    kit? I've got a note 17-04288-01, is that correct? If I want to order
    it, what part no. do I use?

6611.1Right oneSSDEVO::ASTORSubsystems Engineering SupportWed Apr 23 1997 11:0711
    Nige,
    
        The part number you have is correct.  Remember that this cable has
    built in termination, and the terminator SIP packs on the KFESB need to
    be removed when this cable is used.

6611.2What about a BC29T?MOVIES::HARRISIt's got to be turn-onable & turn-offableWed Apr 23 1997 13:127
    
    Can a BC29T-nn be used? (I can order those through IEG) but not the
    17-nnnnn part.

6611.3The right cable is a good thingSSDEVO::ASTORSubsystems Engineering SupportThu Apr 24 1997 12:1415
    Hi,
    
    I suppose it depends on what you mean by can it be used.  In a pinch it
    will work, as long as you put the terminator packs back in the KFESB.
    
    I think you would be doing the customer a disservice however.  The
    termination in the cable allows you to decide if you want to disconnect 
    the cable from the DSSI adapter in the system and still maintain 
    termination on the DSSI bus.  This comes in handy when the customer needs 
    to have a DSSI adapter replaced and still wants his drives available 
    during the replacement.
    
    Regards,
