To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit
to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel only.
If you are connecting an RRD42 tabletop drive directly
to your system, use the SCSI signal cable supplied in
your system installation kit..
If you do not have this cable, contact your Digital sales
representative. Use a cable supplied by Digital Equipment
Corporation. Failure to do so may result in degraded
performance of your RRD42 drive.
To connect a SCSI cable — drive to system — perform the
following steps:
1. See Figure 2–4.
2. Connect one end of the cable to the host system SCSI port.
3. Connect the other end of the SCSI signal cable to the top
SCSI connector on the rear of the RRD42 drive.
4. Snap the wire cable clamps into place to secure the SCSI
cable.
5. Connect the SCSI terminator to the bottom SCSI connector
on the rear of the RRD42 drive, if this device is to be the
last unit on the bus.
6. Snap the wire cable clamps into place to secure the
terminator.
