1.Remove the rear panel mounting plate (DWF-20129-20) and the connector
mounting receptacle (CNA-00079-10) from the shipping kit.
Be sure to use the metric screws provided with the connector! If you force
a standard-thread screw into the embedded burl nut you will most likely
break the nut loose from the plastic housing and will NOT be able to
secure the connector to the mounting plate.
2.Position the connector mounting receptacle over the punch-out on the
inside of the rear panel mounting plate.Note: the inside of the rear panel
plate contains the round press-fit panel mounting nuts.
3.From the outside of the mounting plate, install two screws through the side
notches of the punch-out and into the receptacle. Tighten the screws
firmly. DO NOT over-tighten the screws!
4.Remove the 60-pin SIO cable assembly (DWB-10291-00) from the
shipping kit and position the connector with the side mounting ears over
the previously installed mounting receptacle. The groves in the sides of the
connector should slide easily over the two spring guides attached to the
inside of the mounting receptacle. Be sure to position the cable
connector with pin-1 to the left, and the cutout "key" on top (toward
the inside bend of the rear panel plate).
5.Install two screws through the connector mounting ears and into the
mounting receptacle. Tighten the screws firmly, but again, DO NOT
over-tighten, as the plastic ears could break from excessive pressure!
8.2Installing the Host SIO Cable Adapter Assembly
The following steps describe the procedure for installing the I/O cable adapter assembly
in your host computer.
1.Refer to your computer Owner’s Manual and remove the system chassis
top cover.
2.In order to install the SIO adapter assembly, you must have one paddle
card slot available on the rear panel of the host computer. The preferred
installation slot is the one located farthest away from the main CPU board.
On desktop and rack mount systems this would be the top I/O slot. On
pedestal and deskside systems it would be the slot on the rear right side.
If your host system contains a full compliment of expansion I/O paddle
cards, you can remove the last serial I/O card and move it into the new
AM-3501 expansion subsystem. However, if you do remove the last I/O
card, remember to install the termination resistor packs in the last
remaining I/O card on the I/O bus cable. You’ll also have to change the
