Remote I/O Cable Hookup Instructions:

Archon to Tekmar LSC 2000/3000 to Varian 3400 and 3600 GC's

When connecting to a Varian series 3400 or 3600 GC with Star Workstation, 
connectors from both the Archon I/O cable and the Star Workstation cable 
must access the J16 and J23 connectors on the GC motherboard. This is 
possible using the J16 Splitter (p/n DY-700030-00) and the J23 Splitter  
(p/n DY-700031-00) following the instructions below:

1

Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the GC.  Remove the 
top panels to allow access to the GC motherboard. 

2

Route the GC-end of the Archon I/O cable and the GC-end of the Star 
Workstation cable through the back panel of the GC (see Star Workstation 
installation diagram).

3

Connect the 5-pin female Molex connector (P23) from the Star Workstation 
cable to the male connector on the J23 Splitter with 4 pins (the second 
position lacks a pin). 

4

Connect the 5-pin female Molex connector from the Archon I/O cable to the 
5-pin male connector on the J23 Splitter.

5

Connect the J23 Splitter to the J23 connector on the GC motherboard  (see 
GC manual for motherboard layout schematic).

6

Connect the 4-pin female Molex connector from the Archon I/O cable to 
either of the 4-pin male connectors on the J16 Splitter.

7

Connect the 4-pin female Molex connector (P16) from the Star Workstation 
cable to either of the 4-pin male connectors on the J16 Splitter.
