Duplexing with a SCSI Host Bus Adapter Card

Follow these steps to duplex the SCSI hard drives using a SCSI Host Bus Adapter
card (see Figure 3-9).

1. Disconnect Cable B from SCSI Channel A (on the system board), and

connect it to Channel 0 on the SCSI host bus adapter card.

Ensure the cable is not looped at the Channel 0 connection. The cable
should appear as shown in Figure 3-10.

2. Disconnect Cable C from the bottom connector of Backplane A and

connect it to Channel 1 on the SCSI Host Bus Adapter card.

Ensure the cable is not looped at the Channel 1 connection. The cable
should appear as shown in Figure 3-10.

3. Plug a SCSI terminator into the bottom connector on Backplane A and

Backplane B.
