6.6 Cabling the SF7x in a DECarray Cabinet

6.6.1.3 Cabling Position 2 without a Magazine Tape ISE

CAUTION

Before performing the following steps, refer to the system documenta-

tion for the correct procedure to perform an orderly shutdown of the

system that the DECarray is connected to.

The following steps are for cabling position 2 without a magazine tape ISE.

1. At the rear of the DECarray cabinet, locate the DSSI I/O panel at the

bottom. Use a 3/16-inch ﬂatblade screwdriver to loosen the two captive

screws at the right of the panel.

2. Swing open and remove the panel from the cabinet frame.

CAUTION

Use care not to disturb or damage power cords and DSSI cables that

are already connected to the DSSI I/O panel.

3. Remove the two Phillips screws that hold the panel blank in port 2 of the

I/O panel.

4. Install a 70-inch DSSI cable (PN BC21R–5L) in place of the panel blanks

removed in the previous step. Secure this cable to the I/O panel with the

two Phillips screws removed from the blank panel (Figure 6–18).

5. Plug the other end of this cable into the rightmost DSSI connector at the

rear of the SF7x storage enclosure (Figure 6–19).

6. Route the DSSI cable under the cable retainers on the left side of the

cabinet.

7. Plug a 108-inch DSSI cable (PN BC21Q–09) into the DSSI cable you just

installed in port 2. Tighten the retainer screws with your ﬁngers.
