1103.0. "TIOP hose max length?" by PH6VAX::RODONAGHY () Wed Feb 12 1997 13:06

    I have a customer who has dual A8200 digital unix true cluster.
    They have a need to add 3 pci i/o boxs to each system for a short 
    time. They then want to move the pci box's to an A8400 cluster in 
    the short future (six months). I have a need for some long TIOP
    hose cables . I found some part#s but only one has a lenght listed.
    17-03085-01 9.5 ft, there are a -02,-03,-04,-05 but they list no
    length. I was going to use the pci boxs that are for an A8200 and
    mount in a H9A15-CB cabinet between both systems. A A8200 is ok ,
    because I can remove the side panels and slip cables through sides.
    An A8400 only can take cables out the bottom , thus longer cables . 
    What is the longest cable that is legal/qualified for this config.
    Kftha-aa tiop to dwlpca-ca ?
    
    thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    
    	Try the DWLPA Install Guide. I don't have mine at hand, but I think
    	you will find a part number for an expander cabinet hose.
    	I believe it says 14', but don't quote me.
