14. If you are connecting the adapter to a second SCSI backplane on the server,

repeat steps 11 through 13 for the second backplane, and then continue with
step 15. Otherwise, continue with step 15.
The following illustration shows how to route two SCSI cables from backplanes
to the ServeRAID controller (in PCI slot 3 in this illustration).

ServeRAID
adapter

SCSI connector B

SCSI cable

Note:

If you plan to attach external SCSI devices, you must order additional
SCSI cables. To select and order the correct cables for use with
external devices, contact your IBM marketing representative or
authorized reseller.

15. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to

“Installing the server bezel and left-side cover (tower model)” on page 62 or
“Installing the server bezel and top cover (rack configuration)” on page 65.
