Step 10 −MEMORY CHANNEL −Optional (continued)  
OpenVMS Systems (continued)  
•
In cases where nodes must be separated by a longer distance than standard copper cables allow, the CCMFB  
option converts the output of the standard CCMAB controller or CCMLB line card to single-mode fibre optic  
cable. The fibre optic connection may be up to 2,000 meters long between two CCMAB controllers connected  
in virtual hub mode, or 3,000 meters between a CCMAB controller and a CCMHB hub. (The connection from  
the CCMHB hub to a second system may also be 3,000 meters). The CCMFB option requires a second PCI  
slot in the system from which it draws power only. It is normally connected to the corresponding CCMAB  
controller with the short BN39B-01 cable. The CCMFB is also used in the CCMHB hub where it occupies a  
slot normally used by the CCMLB line card, limiting expansion to four radial fibre optic connections.  
•
The CCMHB-BA hub expansion box provides additional slots for up to 8 fibre optic connections. Two standard  
length, single-mode fibre optic cables are available (BN34R-10 and BN34R-31); however, users normally  
provide this connection. Customers should reference the TIA/EIA 568-A Commercial Building  
Telecommunications Cabling Standard, Section 12.3.4. Fibre optic connectivity is completely transparent to  
the systems using it and has no performance impact.

•
VAX 7000 requires RRDCD-CA option; CD-ROM requires single-ended SCSI-2 connection from KZMSA-AB in  
XMI plug-in unit or KZPBA-CA in  
PCI plug-in unit.  
•
If EISA device support or the RAID Configuration Utility is required, select RRDCD-CA for space to mount  
floppy disk drive; floppy drive included with KFE70 or KFE72 option.  
•
•
CD-ROM device in StorageWorks shelf operates from PCI SCSI controller; DWZZA-VA is not supported.  
All connections to CD-ROM device will stop at device; additional devices are not supported.  
In-cabinet CD-ROM assembly, maximum of one per system; required if no CD-ROM device exists  
in system being upgraded; includes CD-ROM device, mounting hardware, BN21H-0H cable  
(0.75 m); order longer cable to reach XMI plug-in unit or PCI plug-in unit

In-Cabinet 3-phase Power Expansion  
•
If VAX/DEC 7000 being upgraded includes one H7263 power regulator, check equivalent power units to  
determine if second power regulator is required; see Power Configuration Table.  
3-phase 48 VDC power regulator with BBU capability; maximum of three per cabinet; second  
regulator may be required to supply adequate power depending on configuration; third regulator  
assures N+1 power redundancy and higher availability in the event of power regulator failure.
