Note: If additional cables are required, order by the option kit number.
Up to four SCSI ports may be available for connection to external storage devices
depending on whether the 2- to 4-channel adapter is attached and whether internal
drives are connected to the array controller.
1. On the rear of the server, connect the cable to the VHDCI connector on the Smart
Array controller, and then tighten the lock screws on the cable connector.
IMPORTANT: Offset VHDCI cables must be used with the Smart Array 5300 controller.
Early versions of the VHDCI cables do not accommodate side-by-side connection of the
cables to the Smart Array 5300 controller. If your storage enclosure did not include the
Offset VHDCI cables, you may need to order these. See Table 4-1 for part numbers.
NOTE: Do not use a port externally if it is already being used internally.
2. Attach the other end of the cable to the storage enclosure, and then tighten the
lock screws on the cable connector.
3. Replace the access panel and secure it with the thumbscrews, as required.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server with the access panel removed for
extended periods of time. This precaution is to protect thermally sensitive
components by ensuring the proper airflow through the server, and also to
minimize personal contact with hazardous energy levels.
