You can also refer to the inside cover of the SF Family Label Booklet

(part number 36–32882–01) for instructions on how to ﬁll out these

labels.

4.3.3.2 Filling Out the Labels (Dual-Host)

There are two sizes of labels: the larger one for the DSSI cables, and the

smaller one for the inside of the SF7x OCP door and the system I/O panel.

Refer to the inside cover of the SF Family Label Booklet (part number 36–

32882–01) for the instructions on what information to put on each of the two

types of labels.

For the dual-host conﬁguration, Table 4–3 lists the colored labels to be used on

the SF7x OCP door, the front panel of the magazine tape subsystem, and all

DSSI cables.
