INSTALLATION
(see figure on next page)
1. Disconnect all power and remove cables from the Data Silo chassis.
2. Open the Data Silo chassis to gain access to the internal cables and rear panel I/O
connectors. Refer to the Data Silo User's Guide if necessary for information on this
procedure.
3. Remove existing internal SCSI ribbon cable if installed.
4. Verify that ALL devices within the Data Silo chassis have termination disabled.
5. Remove existing chassis rear panel connector(s) if necessary. Save mounting
screws, these will be used in Step 7.
6. Attach one end of the power cable to the Ultra2 (LVD) SCSI board, attach the other
end to the Data Silo power strip. The position of existing device power cables may
need to be adjusted to accommodate the power cable.
7. Attach the Ultra2 (LVD) SCSI repeater board to the Data Silo rear panel with the
same screws saved from Step 5, component-side facing into the Data Silo chassis
(see figure on next page).
8. Connect the internal SCSI ribbon cable to the Ultra2 (LVD) SCSI board and installed
devices.
NOTE: Do not skip connectors on the internal SCSI ribbon cable when connecting
less than nine (9) devices to the cable.
9. Reinstall the Data Silo covers and cables removed earlier.
10. For daisy-chaining multiple Data Silo chassis, verify that the individual external SCSI
cables meet the SCSI 3 Wide Ultra2 (LVD) (80 MBytes/sec) Specification and that
total device-to-host cable length does not exceed 12 meters (approx. 39 ft).
