Center Position Cable Routing
In some cases, the Roadrunner board may be mounted in the center position above a
streaming tape drive. In this configuration, route the cable straight over the top of the
disk drive, and then over to the Roadrunner board. Do not route the cable over the
top of the Roadrunner’s memory SIMM.
When it comes to cable routing, make sure all connections are made pin-1 to pin-1,
using the red stripe on the cable as a reference. Make sure the cables are positioned so
they will not get damaged by other equipment in the chassis, like the pins extending
from the solder side of the AM-167 or AM-177 board. The goal is to route cables so they
are safe and protected, as well as neat and clean. Also, you want to avoid routing
cables in such a way as to block the air flow from the computer’s cooling fan.
