VF2-350-SCW-RHD Introduction
The VF2-350-SCW-RHD has been designed to provide a complete disk drive subsystem which is mechanically compati-
ble with the VMEbus. It has been designed specifically to interface with VMEbus processors with an embedded
Fast/Wide SCSI Host Adapter. Together with the processor, a complete system can be installed in only three standard
VMEbus system slots. The VF2-350-SCW-RHD provides a removable 3.5 inch low profile disk in a 2 slot 6U VME mod-
ule making it very convenient to have removable data storage. The drive used in the VF2-350-SCW-RHD was chosen for
compatibility, ruggedness and reliability. The Fast Wide SCSI-2 bus can be connected to the module via the front panel
68 pin Wide SCSI connector or via the P2 connector, with pins used in the A and C rows of P2 for the SCSI data, control
and parity signals.
