Installing The Cable Channel - Quantum Scalar 218FC User Manual

Installing the Cable Channel

The next step in the installation process is to install the cable channel bracket, cable channel, and
channel stop at the rear of the rack. The cable channel will keep the SCSI and power cable(s) orderly
and prevent them from hampering the movement of the Scalar 218FC whenever it is slid forward on the
rails. The cable channel is secured to the channel bracket with a quick-release pin.
At the rear of your rack, select the pair of holes in the rack upright where you wish to install the
cable channel. ADIC recommends that you use a pair of holes that vertically is at about the same
height as the AC power connector on the rear panel of the Scalar 218FC.
Install the cable channel bracket using two 10-32 x ½" phillips head screws and two collared
spacers.
Install the channel stop using two 10-32 x ½" phillips head screws and two collared spacers.
Secure the power cord and SCSI cable to the cable channel using the attached cable ties. Be sure to
leave enough slack in the cables to allow the Scalar 218FC to be pulled away from the rack as far
as the slide stops permit. The illustration on the following page shows how the channel should be
installed in your rack.
