Optional RAID Configuration

Device Power Cables

A three-connector IDE cable (Figure A-3, I) connects the
primary IDE connector on the top edge of the system
board (Figure A-3, M) to the CD-ROM as its master
device (Figure A-3, H) and an optional tape drive as its
slave device (Figure A-3, G).
Another option available for your system is the single
channel DAC960 (Redundant Array of Inexpensive
Devices (RAID) Controller board, which gives your
system the added security of fault tolerance. If you
order a system with the RAID controller, the system is
pre-cabled at the factory (see Figure A-4).
If you are adding the DAC960 controller to an existing
system, you must install, cable, and configure the
controller. Refer to The Installing an Option Board
section in the Upgrades and Options chapter to install
the controller. Once you have installed the controller,
plug the wide SCSI interface cable (Figure A-4, P) into
the channel 0 connector on the RAID controller.
All device power cables are labeled and must be
installed in specific locations as shown below:
