Dell offers conversion kits that allow you to convert your PowerVault 220S to a tower/standalone system, and your 221S to a
rack system. Before performing the installation procedures in this section, use the documentation included in your conversion
kit to complete the conversion.
Connecting SCSI Cables
Use caution when connecting the SCSI cables to your storage system because an incorrect connection could damage the
connectors. When connecting the SCSI cables to your storage system, observe the following guidelines:
If your SCSI card connector has a protective plastic collar like that shown in Figure 2-1 , do not attempt to remove the
collar.
Figure 2-1. SCSI Connector Collar
Before joining the connectors, ensure that the long and short edges of each connector are aligned for correct insertion,
as shown in Figure 2-2 .
Figure 2-2. Connecting the SCSI Cable
Ensure that the cable connectors are firmly seated before you tighten the captive thumbscrews.
When detaching the cable, avoid damage to the cable by grasping and pulling on the cable connector rather than the
cable. Also, separate the connectors carefully to avoid damage to the connector pins.
