Why yes you can. I've got the shelf manual and I'll type in the description:
Turn off the shelf
Remove the blowers
Discharge any static buildup
Make sure the SHELF_OK jumpers are installed
correctly on either the backplane or on both the
terminator boarrd and the jumper board as
described in Chapter 2
Install the BA35X-MB terminator board in the backplane
connector behind slot 5
Install the unused BA35X-MC jumper board in the backplane
connector behind slot 1
Connect the SCSI cable for device addresses 0,2,4 to the JA1
connector
Connect the SCSI cable for device addresses 1,3,5, and 6 to
the JB1 connector.
Replace the blowers
Connect the power and verify that all devices are active
So it basically looks like you swap the terminator and the jumper boards
and then you get two busses, one with three devices and one with four
devices on it.

I'm finding myself trying to bring another system
online, needing more space
on an existing system and running short of space in my server rack. I seem
to recall that it is possible to split a BA350 in half by pulling something
out. Am I correct in assuming that this lets you plug the shelf into two
seperate systems (in this case one Alpha/UNIX, and the other VAX/VMS).
Anyone have any experience with this?
