Installing the SCSI Cable Strain-Relief Bracket
1
Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system
from the electrical outlet.
2
Ensure that the system is pushed back as far as possible in the rack.
3
Connect any SCSI cables to the system before connecting the I/O cables.
NOTE: To use the strain-relief bracket, only two SCSI cables can be connected to each I/O
slot at a time. The cables cannot be stacked, one above the other; they must be either side-
by-side or placed diagonally to each other.
4
Install the strain-relief bracket to the back of the system.
a
Insert the ends of the three long portions of the strain-relief bracket into the
three matching holes in the rail bracket (see Figure 1-1).
b
Secure the captive thumbscrew to the back of the system (see Figure 1-1).
5
Connect the I/O cables to the back of the system.
