Connecting The Cables - Gateway ALR 8200R User Manual

Connecting the Cables

The SCSI backplane comes from the factory with cables connected.
However, if you ever need to reconnect any cables or to replace or install the
backplane, follow the directions below.
A single cable is used and termination must be enabled (jumper
1.
removed from JP3) for the system to operate properly.
Plug one end of the SCSI cable into the RAID Bay and the other end
2.
into the RAID SCSI controller, which controls the RAID bay. Be sure
to enable the termination on this channel.
3. Reinstall the top cover.
Power-up the system and install any device drivers required by the
4.
SCSI controller for your operating system. Follow the instructions in
the documentation that came with your SCSI controller for more
information on setting up the SCSI controller.
5. Install the hard disk drives as shown in "Installing the Drives" on
page 61.
Installing the Drives
The RAID bay accommodates up to three LVD SCA drives. Drives are
mounted on a rail system that allows quick and easy installation, and hot-
swapping.
Label the SCSI Channel and the SCSI ID numbers on the front of the
1.
drive.
