Connecting the Winchester Disk Drive Cables.
There are up to
four Winchester drive cables the can be disconnected from inside the
cardcage. They all meet at the Winchester scrambler board.
Specifically, these cables join the drive to its controller board and
the required data separator and scrambler boards. The scrambler
board translates the order of the signals so they are compatible with
the drive controller ' s cable pinout. All the Winchester drive cables
from the controller board must pass through the scrambler and then
to their respective boards.
Since it is difficult to see where each cable comes from when the
system is covered, you can use Figure 5-3 as a guide. It shows the
four cables meeting at the Winchester scrambler board mounted on
the inside of the back panel. The inset shows the orientation of the
larger cable drawing. It shows the location of the scrambler board
and the 215G controller board with the back panel ajar. The larger
drawing shows the connections at the scrambler board as though you
were looking down on the back panel. Refer to this drawing, and the
four steps that follow, to connect the Winchester drive cables.
