Duplexing Using Internal SCSI Channels

Follow these steps to duplex the SCSI hard drives using internal SCSI channels
(see Figure 3-8).
1. Remove Cable A connecting SCSI Channel B and the External SCSI port.
Store the cable for future use.
2. Disconnect Cable C from the bottom connector on Backplane A and
connect it to SCSI Channel B.
3. Plug a SCSI terminator into the bottom connector on Backplane A.
NOTE Ensure the cables do not block airflow or obstruct the PCI card
cage fan.
