Duplexing Using Internal SCSI Channels

Follow these steps to duplex the SCSI hard drives using internal SCSI channels

(see Figure 3-8).

1. Remove Cable A connecting SCSI Channel B and the External SCSI port.

Store the cable for future use.

2. Disconnect Cable C from the bottom connector on Backplane A and

connect it to SCSI Channel B.

3. Plug a SCSI terminator into the bottom connector on Backplane A.

NOTE Ensure the cables do not block airflow or obstruct the PCI card

cage fan.
