VL2-350-SC-SSD Introduction
The VL2-350-SC-SSD has been designed to provide a complete disk drive subsystem which is mechanically compatible
with the VMEbus. It has been designed specifically to interface with VMEbus processors with an embedded Ultra 320
SCSI Host Adapter. Together with the processor, a complete system can be installed in only three standard VMEbus sys-
tem slots. The VL2-350-SC-SSD provides one or two disk drives within the same module making it very convenient
to have fixed data storage. The drives used on board the VL2-350-SC-SSD were chosen for their compatibility, rugged-
ness and reliability. The Ultra 320 SCSI bus can be connected to the module via the front panel 68 pin Wide SCSI con-
nector or via the P2 connector.
