  2. Connect the SCSI cable from the external disk enclosure to the SCSI port on the Fast-Wide SCSI card installed in SBus slot 1 in the Netra 150 server (Figure B-1).

    Do not connect the external disk enclosure to any SCSI port other than the SCSI port on the Fast-Wide SCSI card installed in SBus slot 1 in the Netra 150 server.

  3. Plug the power cord from the external disk enclosure to the power output plug on the backup power system.

  4. Plug the power cord from the backup power system into the same power outlet as the Netra NFS server.

    Note -

    Do not make any other connections to the serial ports or network ports on the backup power system. The backup power system should not communicate with the Netra NFS server or with any other system. Also, do not use the backup power system to supply power to any equipment other than a single external disk enclosure.
