Removing the SCSI Cable
Because there are special considerations you should know regarding the removal of the SCSI cable,
this section explains some of those considerations. This section also explains how to remove the
SCSI cable from your workstation’s PCI cage.
Here are some important points to remember regarding the SCSI card and cable.
• The SCSI card can be installed in any of the unused slots in your workstation’s PCI cage;
however, for ease of cable routing it is best to install your SCSI card in slot 4 of the PCI cage.
• The SCSI cable is long enough to allow you to run it through the DAT drive bay and out its front.
This makes it easy for you to connect your power and SCSI cable connectors to the DAT drive
device.
• The connectors on both ends of the SCSI cable are keyed to allow for proper pin connection.
To remove the SCSI card and cable, follow this procedure:
1. Complete the procedure in the section “Removing the DAT Drive” found in this appendix.
2. Lift up on the PCI cage handle and remove the PCI cage from the workstation, but first make
sure the DAT drive has been removed. Notice how the SCSI cable has been routed over the
exposed edge of the I/O cards. See
Figure F-7.
