the SCSI cables and connectors, and contains a power-on test to ensure the pedestal is functioning prop-
erly.
2.1
Introduction
This chapter contains a description of SCSI cables and connectors required to connect the
pedestal to the host system. It also describes the power-on test that ensures your storage
pedestal is functioning properly. Information is divided into the following sections:
•
Unpacking
•
SCSI cables and connectors
•
Connecting the pedestal to the host system
•
Power-on test
2.2
Unpacking
Before unpacking the storage pedestal or its components, check all packing slips to en-
sure the correct equipment has been shipped. Also, inspect the shipping containers for
damage (crushed corners, punctures, and so forth). All boxes and packing material
should be retained at the installation site for reshipment, if necessary.
There are two foam blocks mounted in the pedestal that are required for proper air circu-
lation. These must not be removed. One is located above the personality module, and the
other is under the ac distribution unit between the pedestal feet.
2.3
SCSI Cables and Connectors
SCSI connectors are used on the ends of SCSI cables and on connected equipment. This
section discusses:
•
SCSI “P” cables
•
Storage pedestal SCSI connectors
•
SCSI “P” cable communications
