In split-backplane mode, the drives connected to the backplane board are divided as follows: On a 2 x 2 backplane board, the SCSI channel attached to connector SCSIA on the SCSI backplane board supports SCSI slots 0 and 1 (see Figure 10-2). The SCSI channel attached to connector SCSIB on the backplane board supports SCSI slots 2 and 3. On a 2 x 3 backplane board, the SCSI channel attached to connector SCSIA on the SCSI backplane board supports SCSI slots 0, 1, and 2 (see Figure 10-2). The SCSI channel attached to connector SCSIB on the backplane board supports SCSI slots 3, 4, and 5. The system automatically configures the backplane board as a split backplane if two SCSI interface cables are connected-no jumper or software changes are required. To configure a 2 x 2 or 2 x 3 non-hot-pluggable SCSI backplane board as a single backplane, connect the computer's on-board Ultra2/LVD host adapter to connector SCSIA on the SCSI backplane board. The upgrade kit for the 1 x 6 SCSI backplane board includes the following parts: 1 x 6 hot-pluggable SCSI backplane board SCSI hard-disk drive LED indicator panel A hard-disk drive indicator panel data cable A control cable that connects the system board and SCSI backplane board Use the following procedure to install a 1 x 6 hot-pluggable SCSI backplane in your computer.
