The R215F Expander provides additional mass storage capacity for MicroVAX systems that have a DSSI bus.
Up to three RF-series Integrated Storage Elements (ISEs) can be included in the expander. An ISE is an intelligent storage device that contains its own controller.
Numerous types of DSSI disks can be installed in the R215F expander:
The R215F enclosure is a BA215 enclosure with the card cage removed, and an additional mass storage bay in its place. It has three mass storage bays:
- Two bays in the top of the cabinet
- One bay in the middle of the cabinet
Each mass storage bay can hold one ISE.
The R215F uses the PS DSSI connectors; usage of DSSI cables with a right-angle PS connector is highly recommended.
