Slot 14 installation

1. Connect the Disk board to the SCSI Host Adapter (onboard or SBus card):

   • If an I/O+ board is installed in the front, use an 80-cm SCSI cable to connect the Disk board to the SCSI Host Adapter.

   • If all I/O+ boards are installed in the rear, use a 2-meter SCSI cable (sold separately) to connect the Disk board to the SCSI Host Adapter. Route the cable down the side of the card cage, through the cable pass in the cabinet.

2. Install a SCSI terminator on the disk board if it is the last (or only) board in the SCSI chain.
