2.2.5AM-987 and AM-174 Cable Connections
Refer to the following steps and illustration for cable inter-connections. Ensure that all
cable connections are made pin-1 to pin-1.
1.Lay the Roadrunner assembly down flat next to the Eagle chassis. Be sure
it’s positioned as shown, with the cable connectors toward the
inside
of
the chassis.
2.Unplug the 50-pin SCSI cable from J9 on the AM-137 board, and plug it
into J1 on the AM-174 Roadrunner board.
3.The AM-987 and Roadrunner boards are linked together with two 34-pin
cables included in the installation kit. These two cables make up the data
path between the AM-987 and Roadrunner boards.
A.Connect one 34-pin cable from P1 on the AM-987 board to J2 on the
AM-174 board.
B.Connect the second 34-pin cable from P2 on the AM-987 board to J3
on the AM-174 board.
Take every precaution to plug the X-bus cables in correctly. If the
cables are not plugged in correctly, the system will not boot or run
self-test and the AM-174 board could be seriously damaged
! If your
computer does not boot after doing the upgrade, turn off the power and
double check your cable connections.
4.The Roadrunner board has a standard 4-pin DC power connector. Simply
take one of the 4-pin DC power cables extending from your power supply
and plug it into the Roadrunner board.
Although the power connectors are keyed, with extra force they can be
installed
incorrectly
,so be careful!
