• If the drives are in an external cabinet, connect a wide, 68-pin Very

High Density Component Interconnect (VHDCI) cable to the
external SCSI connector on the eXtremeRAID 2000 controller and
connect the other end of the cable to the external drive cabinet.

External drive cabinets usually have termination built into the end of
the SCSI bus. If not, attach a terminator to the last connector of the
SCSI cable. If you are unsure, check the documentation that shipped
with the drive cabinet.

Note

The eXtremeRAID 2000 controller automatically
determines whether or not its own on-board
termination is required, and automatically enables or
disables on-board termination as necessary.

14. Safety check the installation.

• Make sure that all of the cabling Pin 1 locations are correct and that

all cables are firmly seated in the connectors.

• Make sure all SCSI conventions (cable type, cable length, and

termination) are correct.

15. Reconnect the power.
