4. Prepare for cabling by doing the following:
•
Prepare the system units using "Preparing the Devices"
on 2-4.
•
Familiarize yourself with the system by reading "System
Unit Drawings" on 2-5.
•
Read the instructions under "Completing the System
Cabling Record" on 2-6.
5. Locate the appropriate system cabling record in Appendix A.
Read the instructions and record the requested information
as you do task 6, using Section 2. You must complete this
record in order to do tasks 7 and 8.
6. Connect (cable) the devices to the system unit, beginning with
the instructions on 2-7 in Section 2, "Connecting Devices to
the IBM RT PC System Unit" in this book. Note the
following:
•
Begin at 2-7 and work through the section, skipping
devices you do not have.
•
Locate the device you want to connect in the list of
devices at the top of the page.
•
Identify on the page and in the system unit the connector
you have.
The book shows only the IBM-supported connectors. The
word connector refers to either Serial Ports Sl and S2 on
IBM 6150 or the ports on the adapter brackets. (Adapters
are printed circuit cards or boards that change the
operation of the system unit). If your connector does not
match the one in the drawing, go to the following pages
until you find one that matches.
•
Connect the device using the cable (or an equivalent)
shown in the drawings.
•
Complete the system cabling record as you connect each
device.
You can connect devices to any port of the 4- or 8-port
adapters as well as to any port of an 8-port cable assembly.
It is important to write the device name next to the
corresponding port on the system cabling record.
