SCSI Ultra320 Cable Kits
INSTALLATION
(see figure on next page)
NOTES: For SCSI Ultra320 operation, the StorCase ® Ultra320 cable kits require
Ultra320 drives, Ultra320 HBA, and Ultra320-compliant cabling (internal
and external).
For daisy-chained SCSI Ultra320 removable drive applications,
StorCase Ultra320 Data Express removable drive enclosures must also
be used in conjunction with the Ultra320 cable kits.
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 Ultra320 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 Ultra320 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 Ultra320 board and installed devices.
NOTE: Do not skip connectors on the internal SCSI ribbon cable when connecting
less than nine (9) devices to the S90A114 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 Ultra320 (320MB/sec) Specification and that total device-to-
host cable length does not exceed 12 meters (approx. 39ft).
