Upgrading Your System 7-41

IMPORTANT:

!To use the internal disk array drives in a disk array configuration by installing the Mylex AcceleRAID 160 disk array controller on the low- profile riser card, disconnect the SCSI cable from the system board and the SCSI backplane. Instead, connect them with the provided SCSI cable for a disk array configuration. The SCSI cable connected in the standard configuration is not long enough. See "Example of connecting the SCSI cable" below.

!Some disk array controller boards have more than one channel (connector). They may have connectors for internal connection and external connection. However, the connectors may be under exclusive specification in consideration of the internal connection of the disk array controller board. Make sure that each connector (channel) is for internal connection or external connection. For the connectors and channels, see the manual provided with the disk array controller board.

!Example of connecting the SCSI cable

This section explains the procedure for connecting the internal hard disk drives to the Mylex AcceleRAID 160 disk array controller board installed on the riser card dedicated to low-profile PCI boards.

1.Form the provided SCSI cable for a disk array configuration according to "Forming of the SCSI cable."

2.Remove the FAN bracket, lifting up the front of the bracket.

NOTE: Remove the bracket while making sure that the signal cable from the power supply unit that runs through the slit on the left side of the bracket is not caught.
