Routing the 68-pin SCSI cable
Note: It is critical to do the following steps in order to ensure successful installation.
To route the 68-pin SCSI cable:
1. From the front of the jukebox, locate the lower horizontal slot for the ribbon cables on the
left side of the jukebox (see Figure 12).
Figure 12: Slots in jukebox frame front for ribbon cables
2. Locate the end of the 68-pin SCSI cable labeled “Interposer” and position it with the label
to your left and facing up.
3. Starting from inside the jukebox, thread the “Interposer” end of the 68-pin SCSI cable out
through the lower horizontal slot. Pull it through until the fold labeled “this side up” is just
inside the jukebox, to the right of the lower horizontal slot.
4. Leave the cable now extending from the left side of the jukebox laying on the floor.
Note: The “Interposer” label and “This side up” label should both be facing up. If they are not,
remove the cable and route it again.
5. Route the other end of the 68-pin SCSI cable through the empty drive bay at the bottom of
the frame toward the back of the jukebox, along the frame floor (see Figure 13).
The SCSI cable will pass under the bundle of multi-colored cables, and continue to the
back of the frame.
