Adding the Optional DEU 2-Channel SCSI Board

This subsection describes how to install the optional 2-Channel SCSI board into the DEU.

The DEU must be removed from the tower cabinet before the 2-Channel SCSI Interface Board can be installed.

!WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, a minimum of two people MUST lift the DEU in and out the tower cabinet. The DEU weighs 50 pounds (22.6 kilograms

!CAUTION

To make the DEU lighter and more manageable and to protect your hard disk drives from damage, consider removing the hard disk drives in the DEU before removing the DEU from the tower cabinet.

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions listed at the beginning of this chapter.

2.Open the front door to the tower cabinet.

3.Terminate all applications and power down the BSU connected to the DEU. Powering down the BSU will also power down the DEU.

4.Tag and remove all cables connected to the DEU.

5.Remove the screws securing the DEU to the front of the tower cabinet (see Figure 4-73).
