May 2003 Installing the 201i server in a large Meridian 1 system
Part 2: 201i Server Hardware Installation 43
Backplane (tip and ring) cable
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.
SCSI cables
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.

CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
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.
ATTENTION
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.
