5. Reconfigure the SCSI cable connections to the SCSI backplane as necessary to operate the backplane as a 2/3 split backplane:
l If a RAID controller card is not installed, no cables are required to use either the onboard SCSI controller or optional integrated RAID controller in
either a 1x5 or 2/3 split configuration.
l If a RAID controller card is installed, cables can be connected from the controller card to SCSIA and/or SCSIB backplane board connector(s). A
backplane board connector that is not attached to the RAID controller card will use the onboard SCSI controller or optional integrated RAID
controller.
l If a cable is connected to the SCSIB backplane board connector, the SCSI backplane daughter card must be installed to activate the 2/3 split
configuration. Otherwise, the system will display an error message.
See Figure A -5 to locate the connectors on the SCSI backplane board.
6. Replace the cover (see " Replacing the Cover " in "Troubleshooting Your System").
7. Reconnect your system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn on the system.
Configuring the Boot Device
If you plan to boot the system from a hard drive, the drive must be attached to the primary (or boot) controller. The device that the system boots from is
determined by the boot order specified in the System Setup program.
The System Setup program provides options that the system uses to scan for installed boot devices. See your system's User's Guide for information about the
System Setup program.
