Connecting the system I/O cabling

Be sure that the site has been prepared in accordance with the site requirements information provided earlier in this section.

This procedure describes how to cable the system in a daisychain configuration. This configuration was discussed earlier in this section under “Interface require- ments.”

The drive has one I/O connector (J06) on the control board. Figure 11 shows how a typical I/O cable connects to the board.

If the drive is either the first or last device (at either end) in the daisychain, it must be terminated. Drives in the middle of the daisychain must not be terminated. Drives that are terminated have two terminator resistor-paks installed.
