Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4 show sample hardware configurations for the 3995 C-Series Models. The C32, C34, C36, and C38 are attached to a single host processor through two ESCON channels or two parallel channels. While neither attachment supports multiple hosts, ESCON attachment does support remote connection of the 3995 up to 3 kilometers to the first director or host. For a configuration example for the 3995-11x and 3995-13x models see Configurations for the 3995-1xx models.
