Page 11Installation Instructions: AM-3501 Expansion Subsystem
8.0AM-3501 TO MAIN CPU EXTERNAL CABLING
Due to the versatility of the AM-3501 subsystem and the numerous host configurations
to which it may be attached, all
external
cabling between the subsystem and the host
computer must be ordered separately. This includes both the external SCSI cable, and
the 60-pin SIO paddle card expansion bus cable.
8.1Assembling the Host SIO Cable Adapter
An internal to external SIO cable adapter kit is included with the AM-3501 subsystem.
The adapter kit is designed for the
host
computer and provides a convenient method of
cabling the B-channel SIO bus from the main CPU board, to an external access
connector mounted on the host computer’s rear panel. Once the rear panel adapter
assembly is installed, it becomes a simple matter to connect/disconnect the AM-3501
subsystem to/from the host computer!
Refer to the following illustration and assembly steps to assemble the parts contained in
