Page 46: Expansion Cards With Pci-To-Pci Bridges
Remove the expansion card from its antistatic packaging. Slide the expansion card carefully into the card guides. Ensure that the connectors on the board’s edge are aligned properly with the slot connector. Push the card into the slot firmly and evenly until it is fully seated in the slot connector. Inspect the connection. -
Page 47: Adding Removable Disk Drives
CAUTION Only use disk drives purchased from Intergraph in the disk drive bay. This ensures the drives meet the disk drive bay specifications. See Chapter 2, “Servicing the System,” or System Setup for information on installing removable disk drives in the disk drive bay. - Page 48 Remember the following when installing an optional SCSI peripheral device: The maximum speed of a SCSI bus is limited to the speed of the slowest device on that bus. Have the vendor’s documentation available to follow instructions for setting the SCSI ID, enabling or disabling termination, installing device drivers when required, and configuring other drive attributes.
- Page 49 Do one of the following: If installing a standard disk drive, place the disk drive in the tray, align the mounting holes, and install the four mounting screws. See the following figure. If installing a 5.25-inch device, such as a tape drive or a CD writer, remove the right and left mounting guides from the drive tray.

Page 79: Scsi Cable Routing
SCSI Cable Routing The following diagram shows how the SCSI cables should be routed when connecting SCSI devices in the system. CAUTION You should try to minimize cable flexing during handling. SCSI cables should not have any creased bends. Take care when installing or replacing cables to insure that they do not contact sharp metal surfaces or become excessively bent or twisted. -
Page 80: Disk Drive Bay
Disk Drive Bay The disk drive bay includes the disk drive cage and a Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) backplane. This assembly is always replaced as one unit. The SCSI backplane is a Low Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) SCSI compliant backplane. It is designed to connect up to four SCSI devices to a system in which the backplane is installed. - Page 81 J16 and J17 provide power (+12V, +5V, Ground) to the backplane. Both connectors must be used for proper operation. J20 and J21 are auxiliary bus connectors used in multiple backplane configurations only. J9 is used only in multiple backplane configurations and should not be installed. U7-9 are the LVD SCSI termination circuits.
