CAUTION!
Carefully route cables to minimise airflow blockage and cooling problems.
Suggested Tape Drive Cabling
A peripheral power cable (4-pin connector) is included in the cable output f rom the
power supply.
Route and connect to the tape drive before the SCSI cable is inst alled.
Connecting to the On-board SCSI Controller
1. Obtain a SCSI cable with an unfolded length of 26-inches.
2. Flatten the cable and fold it in half beginning ab out 1- inch f rom the tape drive end
(see Figure 29, A). Continue folding for a distance of about 10-inches.
3. Fold the cable in half again and secure with electrical t ape.
4. Connect the cable to the tape drive (see Figure 30, A) and caref ully route the
folded and taped section on the chassis floor between the fan assembl y (C) and
the tape drive (A).
5. Connect the cable to the on-board SCSI controller at connector (B).
Because the on-board SCSI controller is now unavailable, you will need to insta ll a
PCI add-in card that provides RAID or SCSI control and connect it to the b ackplane.
