Installing the 201i server in a large Meridian 1 system

201i Server Hardware Installation

49

The backplane (tip and ring) cable supplied with the 201i server 
(NTRH3501) provides 100Base-T Ethernet CLAN operation. This cable 
offers more network throughput than the cable that is already installed on 
the Meridian 1.

When installed, this cable completes the connection between the left slot, 
the I/O panel on the rear of the switch, and the multi I/O cable on the 201i 
server.

Before you can connect a CD-ROM or tape drive to the 201i server, you 
must install the SCSI cables. You require two cables. These cables route the 
SCSI connection away from the 201i server faceplate so that an external 
SCSI device can remain permanently connected.

The 201i server is shipped ready for installation into an 
Option 11C switch. Before you install the 201i server in a 
larger Meridian 1 switch (for example, Option 51C), you 
must move the secondary backplane (DS30X) connector to 
the correct position.

A yellow warning label over the top lock latch on the 
201i server prevents you from securing the 201i server 
in a slot. This label serves as a reminder to move the 
secondary backplane connector to the Meridian 1 
position, if required, before installing the 201i server 
into the slot.
