Locate and add (installed on both pins) the jumpers at JP7 and JP8. See Figure 5-14 on page 5-17 for help locating the jumpers. The default position of the jumpers are offset (installed on one pin only). This ensures that the automatic termination feature functions properly. 6 Reinstall the SAF-TE disk I/O card in each enclosure.

Dual-Bus Daisy-Chain Enclosure

Configure the jumper settings on this first daisy-chain enclosure

SAF-TE disk I/O card.

Locate and add (installed on both pins) the jumpers at JP7 and

JP8. See

Figure 5-14 on page 5-17

for help locating the jumpers.

The default position of the jumpers are offset (installed on one

pin only).

This ensures that the automatic termination feature functions

properly.

Reinstall the SAF-TE disk I/O card in each enclosure. See

Replacing an I/O Card

on page 5-21

for instructions.

Remove the SAF-TE disk I/O card installed in the second daisy-

chain enclosure. See

Replacing an I/O Card

on page 5-21

for

instructions.

Locate the switches on the card and set them as shown in
