Appendix A. System Cabling Records
Purpose
The system cabling record provides a place to record the names of
the devices and the adapter or port to which you connected each
device. Carefully complete this record. You must have this
information when you test the system (Setup Task 7, Section 1) and
when you install the operating system (setup Task 8, Section 1).
Using the System Cabling Record
Study the appropriate sample record, and then do the following:
1. Record the cabling information immediately after you cable
each device to the system unit.
2. As you connect (cable) each device to an adapter, note the slot
number the adapter is in. Write the adapter name (as it is
printed in Section 2) in the space corresponding to the slot
where the adapter is installed.
If more than one adapter of the same type is installed, record
the name as many times as necessary.
3. Write the name of each connected device on the line
corresponding to the adapter connector (port) to which you
made the connection.
•
Slots that can contain 4 or 8-port adapters have eight lines
for recording device names. Slots that can contain only
adapters with two connectors or ports (for example, the IBM
Personal Computer AT® or the IBM Monochrome Display
