Installing the 201i server in a large Meridian 1 system

Standard 1.07

Removing the backplane (tip and ring) cables

Introduction

You must remove the Meridian 1 backplane (tip and ring) cables that are associated with the slots occupied by the 201i server so that you can install the following cables:

„NTRH3501 backplane (tip and ring) cable

The NTRH3501 cable offers more network throughput than the cable that is already installed on the Meridian 1. This cable is connected to the backplane connectors and I/O panel slot associated with the left slot.

„NTRH1408 intermediate SCSI cable

The NTRH1408 intermediate SCSI cable routes the SCSI device connection away from the 201i server faceplate so that an external SCSI device can remain permanently connected. This cable is connected to the I/O panel only. The backplane connectors associated with the right slot are left vacant.

These cables are supplied with the 201i server.
