Installing the 201i server in a large Meridian 1 system

CAUTION

Risk of equipment damage

The 201i server is shipped ready for installation into an Option 11C switch. Before you install the 201i server in a larger Meridian 1 switch (for example, Option 51C), you must move the secondary backplane (DS30X) connector to the correct position.

ATTENTION

 

A yellow warning label over the top lock latch on the

 

 

201i server prevents you from securing the 201i server

 

in a slot. This label serves as a reminder to move the

 

secondary backplane connector to the Meridian 1

 

position, if required, before installing the 201i server

 

into the slot.

Backplane (tip and ring) cable

The backplane (tip and ring) cable supplied with the 201i server (NTRH3501) provides 100Base-T Ethernet CLAN operation. This cable offers more network throughput than the cable that is already installed on the Meridian 1.

When installed, this cable completes the connection between the left slot, the I/O panel on the rear of the switch, and the multi I/O cable on the 201i server.

SCSI cables

Before you can connect a CD-ROM or tape drive to the 201i server, you must install the SCSI cables. You require two cables. These cables route the SCSI connection away from the 201i server faceplate so that an external SCSI device can remain permanently connected.
