StorageWorks Solutions Deskside Expansion Units (Pedestals) Product Compatibility and Certification Guide

This document, the "StorageWorks Solutions Deskside Expansion Units (Pedestals) Product Compatibility and Certification Guide" (EK-350DS–CC.A01), published by Digital Equipment Corporation in February 1996, provides detailed information on the certification and compatible components for the StorageWorks BA346–K, BA356–K, and BA350–K series deskside expansion units.

The guide outlines the various certifications (such as FCC, CE–Mark, and UL) applicable to these pedestals and their compatible StorageWorks building blocks (SBBs) and other devices. A key emphasis is placed on the certification class (Class A for commercial, Class B for residential) and its impact: installing any Class A certified device within a Class B pedestal automatically reclassifies the entire enclosure for commercial use only.

For each specific pedestal model (16-bit 7 SBB, 16-bit 7 SBB + 2 Device, and 8-bit 7 SBB configurations), the document lists compatible optical disk drives, cartridge tape drives, CD-ROM drives, SCSI bus converters, disk drives, solid state disks, and power supplies, often specifying whether a compatible device can be installed but not ordered.
