Dell PowerEdge 6300 and 4300 computer systems equipped with a Dell PowerEdge
SDS 100 storage system include two strain-relief clips or one strain-relief bracket in
the cable kit. When installed, the bracket or clips prevent deflection of the SCSI
cables connected to the host adapter card in the system. Deflection of the SCSI inter-
face cables can damage the SCSI host adapter card.
The following items are included in the cable strain-relief kit:


Two long or two short SCSI cables


Two plastic cable strain-relief clips with adhesive backs or one strain-relief bracket


Two alcohol wipes
        
If your kit includes SCSI strain-relief clips, perform the following steps to install the
clips:
1. Locate the flat area on the computer's back panel to the right of the redundant
arrays of independent disks (RAID) controller card connectors.
The flat area is located between the chassis ventilation holes and the edge of the
computer cover.
NOTE: Do not affix the cable strain-relief clips over the chassis ventilation holes or
on the edge of the computer cover.
2. Use the alcohol wipes to thoroughly clean the area on the back panel.
3. Peel the plastic liner from the back of the cable strain-relief clip to expose the
adhesive tape.
4. Orient the plastic clip so that the flat tab is on the top and the grooved tab is on
the bottom (see Figure 6).
