SCSI Ultra160 Cable Kits
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 SCSI Ultra160 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 SCSI Ultra160 repeater board to the Data Silo rear panel with the same screws
saved from Step 5, component-side facing into the Data Silo chassis (Figure 3).
8. Connect the internal SCSI ribbon cable to the SCSI Ultra160 board and installed devices.
NOTE: Do not skip connectors on the internal SCSI ribbon cable when connecting
less than nine (9) devices to the DCULTRA160-9KIT 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 Ultra160 (160 MBytes/sec) Specification and that total device-to-
host cable length does not exceed 12 meters (approx. 39ft).
