Installing the SCSI Backplane Daughter Card
1-7
To use the optional RAID controller card in a split backplane configuration:
a
Connect SCSI channel A (channel 0) on the controller card to connector SCSIA on
the SCSI backplane. This channel controls the boot drive (drive 0) and drive 1.
b
Connect SCSI channel B (channel 1) on the controller card to connector SCSIB on
the SCSI backplane. This channel controls drives 2 through 5.
NOTE:
If a cable is connected to the SCSIB backplane connector, the SCSI backplane daughter
card must be installed to activate the 2/4 split backplane configuration. Otherwise, the system will
display an error message.
