Hardware Preparation and Installation

 

Installing for Use with Internal SCSI Devices

 

An MVME1xx VMEmodule can be connected through the LCP2 adapter to

2

internal SCSI devices as shown in Figure 2-7. This section describes the

procedure for connecting the MVME712x modules for use with internal SCSI

 

devices.

Because the MVME1xx VMEmodule is at one end of the cable, SCSI terminators are required on the LCP2 adapter. The LCP2 adapter module is shipped with SCSI terminators installed.

Note

MVME712-13 and MVME712AM: perform the steps in this procedure to connect to internal SCSI devices or the steps in the next section to connect the modem or the steps in both procedures.

1.Verify that SCSI terminators are installed on the LCP2 adapter module.

2.Install the LCP2 adapter module to the backplane directly in line with the P2 connector on the MVME1xx VMEmodule. Be sure to orient pin 1 of the adapter with pin 1 of the backplane connector.

3.Connect a user-supplied cable with compatible pinouts from connector J3 on the LCP2 adapter to the internal SCSI devices.

4.Verify that terminators are installed on the last SCSI device on the cable. If they are not present, install terminators.

5.MVME712-12 and MVME712-13: Attach the cable supplied with the MVME712x module from LCP2 adapter connector J2 to connector P2 on the MVME712x module. Be sure to orient cable pin 1 with connector pin 1. See Figure 2-7.

MVME712A and MVME712AM: Attach the cable supplied with the MVME712x module from LCP2 adapter connector J2 to connector J11 on the MVME712x module. Be sure to orient cable pin 1 with connector pin 1. See Figure 2-7.

6.Insert the transition module into the selected slot and tighten the attaching screws.

7.After making sure you will not pinch cables with the cover, reinstall the cover you previously removed.

8.Connect the power cable to the AC power source and turn on the unit.

9.If SCSI does not work properly, you may have to repair a defective cable and/or replace a blown fuse.
