Tru64 UNIX can support more SCSI controllers per hardware partition than can be configured in the AlphaServer GS80 system. Refer to the
"Supported Options List" for specific rules.
OpenVMS supports 24 KZPBA-CB/3X-KZPBA-CC SCSI controllers per system.
Each master PCI drawer contains an embedded SCSI controller that must be included in the total count of SCSI controllers configured in the system
(or partition). Tru64 UNIX counts FIS disk and CD-ROM as an embedded SCSI device. OpenVMS counts the FIS disk only as an embedded SCSI
device. Therefore, one (OpenVMS) or two (Tru64 UNIX) SCSI controllers per master PCI drawer must be included in the total count of SCSI devices
in the system.
For cluster configurations, use Y cable (BN39A-0G).
Manufacturing may substitute correct cable lengths depending on configuration.
NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: "Per System" quantities apply to systems or to each hardware partition. The SCSI adapters included in the base system or in 3x-DWWPA-AA master
PCI drawers must be included in this calculation.

NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: * = Tru64 UNIX V5.1 is required to support 54 adapters per partition and 13 adapters per PCI drawer. Tru64 UNIX 4.0G supports 24 adapters
per partition.
