Installing The External Scsi Cable Assembly (A21928) - Intel SR870BN4 - Server Platform - 0 MB RAM Product Manual

Installing the External SCSI Cable Assembly (A21928)

The optional external SCSI cable assembly lets the user connect external SCSI components to the
chassis.
To install the external SCSI cable assembly:
1. Switch off the server at the front panel and disconnect the AC power cords to remove standby
power from the chassis.
2. Pull the I/O module out of the chassis and place on a clean, static free work surface.
3. Remove the I/O riser card bracket and the I/O riser card.
4. Remove any PCI cards that extend back into the card guides on the fan module. PCI cards not
extending back into the card guides on the fan assembly can remain installed.
5. Remove the four cooling fans from the fan assembly.
6. Remove the fan module by loosening the two top-mounted captive screws and lifting the
module out of the chassis.
7. Position the external SCSI cable assembly as shown in Figure 81 with the long end of the cable
toward the back panel.
8. Register the three alignment features on the "L" shaped bracket into the I/O module's sidewall
(A in Figure 81) and snap in place.
9. Plug the short end of the SCSI cable into the external SCSI connector (B in Figure 81).
10. Hang the long end of the SCSI cable assembly over the side of the chassis out of the
way for now.
