Cabling the dual (split) SCSI bus configuration

Two host cables are required for this configuration. The length of each
cable may be a maximum of 25 meters. When viewed from the rear
there should be a CSM installed in one I/O slot and a TSM in the other.
The SCSI bus needs to be set in the 'forced split' mode to do this
configuration. A jumper must be installed at jumper location JP10 on
the CSM PCB. To do this,
1.
Remove the CSM from the enclosure and remove the top cover.
2.
Locate JP10 and install a jumper.
3.
Replace the top cover.
4.
Insert the CSM in to the enclosure.
Follow the procedures below to connect the cables (see figure page

1.
Power off the enclosure and the host system.
2.
Attach one end of the first cable to one connector on the CSM.
3.
Attach the other end of this cable to a host.

Attach one end of the second cable to the other connector on the
CSM.
