Installing the SCSI Cable
Installing the disk drive upgrade in some Profile systems requires installing a SCSI
cable. The SCSI cable connections depend on whether or not you have added a
Slave EDR board with this upgrade.
Choose one of the procedures that follow depending on whether or not you have
added a Slave EDR:
• “Installing the SCSI Cable In Systems Without a Slave EDR”
• “Installing the SCSI Cable in Systems with a New Slave EDR”
Installing the SCSI Cable In Systems Without a Slave EDR
When upgrading a Profile system without a Slave EDR board, you must add a
SCSI cable to connect the new disk drives you are installing to the second SCSI
port (SCSI B) on the Master EDR board.
To install the SCSI cable:
1. Remove the existing SCSI B cable using these steps:
a. Remove the jackscrews which secure the SCSI B connector to the rear
panel (
Ê in Figure 7) using the 3/16-inch nutdriver. Keep the jackscrews
for step c.
b. Disconnect the other end of the cable from the Master EDR
(
Ë in Figure 7) and remove the cable from the system.
c. Install the chassis slot cover, included with this kit, to cover the SCSI B
slot in the back panel. Use the 3/16-inch jackscrews removed earlier to
secure the chassis slot cover.
