16. Plug the other end of this cable into the appropriate port on the system
I/O panel at the rear of the system cabinet. To determine which of the two
DSSI connectors on the system I/O panel to connect to:
a. Open the system I/O panel by removing the six screws that secure the
I/O panel to the system chassis. Let the panel swing down to its resting
position.
b. Find the first KFMSA module installed in the system XMI backplane.
It is the KFMSA module in the lowest numbered slot of the KFMSA
modules installed.
c. Follow the cabling from the backplane to the system I/O panel.
d. While viewing the front of the I/O panel, note that the DSSI connector
on the right is KFMSA DSSI bus 1 and the left is bus 2.
e. For port 2 on the DECarray I/O panel, connect the 108-inch DSSI cable
to the left DSSI connector of the system I/O panel.
CAUTION
Do not apply power to the magazine tape ISE at this time.
17. Install a DSSI terminator in the bottom DSSI connector at the rear of the
magazine tape ISE.
