Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

6-7

Always route SCSI power and ribbon cables so that

they do not impede airflow or interfere with running

fans.

SCSI backplane:

All seven SCSI drives plug into the SCSI backplane (p/n SCA742), which

provides Ultra160 single channel operation. There are no jumpers on the

SCSI backplane. A ribbon cable from JA1 on the motherboard should be

connected to the LVD1 connector on the SCSI backplane (this is SCSI

channel A). There are also two power connectors on the backplane -

both should be connected. See Figure 6-6 for the locations of backplane

connectors - the reverse side of the backplane has seven connectors

that the SCSI drives plug into when inserted with a SCSI drive carrier.

Figure 6-6. SCA742 SCSI Backplane

LVD1

Power Connectors

Important: Regardless of how many SCSI hard drives

are installed, all 7 SCSI drive carriers must remain in

the drive bays to promote proper airflow.
