UltraSCSI Configuration Rules
UltraSCSI configurations require UltraSCSI components
(controllers, adapters, shelves, disks, and cables).
UltraSCSI adapters and RAID controllers support
UltraSCSI disks at UltraSCSI speeds in UltraSCSI Top
Gun Blue shelves (DS-BA356-xx).
Fast10 BA356-xx SCSI shelves can not be retrofitted.
Replace Fast10 SCSI shelf with DS-BA356-xx shelf
when adding an UltraSCSI disk and when connecting to
UltraSCSI adapter.
UltraSCSI and Fast10 drives can be mixed in DS-BA356
Top Gun Blue UltraSCSI shelf. UltraSCSI adapter
negotiates maximum transfer speed of drives.
