top and right edge. Left side of page extends to 9.25 inches.
The I/O Interface card incorporates built-in automatic
SCSI termination. When the data cable is plugged in,
the system automatically senses the connection and
provides the required SCSI termination.
Two sets of jumpers are provided on the card. One set
routes Term Power in the event that the host controller
is not providing it.
The next set of jumpers addresses a specific set of
controllers that use the DEC Fault Bus protocol. If you
are using a DEC system where the controller uses this
protocol, you will need to jumper locations (jumper on
both pins) JP3 and JP4 for each channel that has an
external SCSI cable connected. This will disable
termination at that point.
If you are using a standard host adapter that provides
Term Power, no change is required and SCSI bus
termination will occur automatically.
Power Cord Connector and Fuse
The power cord connector supplies the AC power to the
DEU through a power cord connected to a conventional
three-hole grounded outlet or power strip. A 250V 10
amp fuse is provided to protect the system from any
electrical fault.
Internal Components
There are seven primary internal components: disk
drives (up to eight), Fault LEDs, power switch, SAF-TE
card, hot swappable cooling fans, hot swappable power
supplies, and configuration module (Dual-Bus or
Single-Bus).
