A connector (J6) at the back of the drive accepts the I/O cable that connects it to the system. The daisy-chain cable is a continuous unshielded cable having one connector for each drive it connects to.

Refer to the reference manual (publication 83327730) for guidelines on I/O cabling. These guidelines discuss the use of unshielded cabling inside cabinets and shielded cabling running between cabinets. They also contain information about constructing continuous daisy-chain cabling (including part numbers for the required cabling components).

Table 4 shows the pin assignments and signal names for the unshielded single-ended I/O P cable. Table 5 shows the pin assignments and signal names for the unshielded differential I/O P cable. Detailed information about interface lines is provided in the reference manual.
