Peripheral Components for Windows-based Systems
Tabl e 7- 3 lists the PCI adapters required for each peripheral component on ftServer
systems running Automated Uptime Layer for Windows-based ftServer Systems.
To plan a site for a system on which Automated Uptime Layer and the Windows
operating system are installed, see the previous chapters in this manual. Also, see the
following manuals:
The ftScalable Storage G3: Getting Started Guide (R687) for information about
connecting ftScalable Storage G3 systems to ftServer systems
The Stratus ftServer Systems: PCI Adapter Guide (R461) for detailed information
about the PCI adapters
For additional information about third-party peripheral equipment that has been tested
with ftServer systems, see the following web site:
