Installing the SF7x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet
6.6 Cabling the SF7x in a DECarray Cabinet
6.6.2.2 Cabling Position 1 or 2 with a Magazine Tape ISE
WARNING
Before performing the following steps, refer to the system documenta-
tion for the correct procedure to perform an orderly shutdown of the
systems that the DECarray is connected to.
The following steps are for cabling a storage enclosure in position 1 with a
magazine tape ISE in position 5, or cabling a storage enclosure in position 2
with a magazine tape ISE in position 6.
CAUTION
Use care not to disturb or damage power cords and DSSI cables that
are already connected to the DSSI I/O panel.
1. Tighten the shipping screw in the rear, upper right corner of the magazine
tape ISE.
2. Disconnect the 70-inch DSSI cable (PN BC21R–5L) from the bottom DSSI
connector of the magazine tape ISE.
3. Reconnect this 70-inch DSSI cable to the leftmost DSSI connector on the
rear of the SF7x.
4. Install a 42-inch DSSI cable (PN BC21Q–3F) in the bottom DSSI connector
of the magazine tape ISE.
5. Loosen the shipping screw in the rear, upper right corner of the magazine
tape ISE.
6. Pull the inner assembly of the magazine tape ISE out to its head cleaning
position. Cabling the magazine tape ISE with the inner assembly pulled
out to the head cleaning position ensures that the correct cable slack will
be provided when the inner assembly is pushed back into the extrusion
tube.
7. Connect the 42-inch DSSI cable from the bottom DSSI connector of the
magazine tape ISE to the rightmost DSSI connector of the SF7x enclosure.
8. Route the DSSI cable under the cable retainers on the right side of the
cabinet.
