Seagate ST43401N/ND Computer Drive User Manual

To enable the feature, it is necessary to run an additional daisy-chain cable
from drive to drive and to make a master/slave selection for each drive.
Connector J7 is used by ST43401N/ND drives. Connector J5 on the control
board handles the cable connections on ST43402ND drives. Master/slave
selection is made by a jumper on connector J4A. Figure 20 shows the two
connectors for ST43401N/ND drives, and Figure 21 shows the two connec-
tors for ST43402ND drives.
For a drive at the end of the daisy chain, the cable connects to one of the two
rows of pins (row A or row B), and a terminator connects to the other row of
pins. Both ends of the cable must be terminated.
