PHYSICAL CHECK:

All of the following must be true for this ECA to apply:

•  The System is a PC Server Enterprise Expansion Enclosure Type 3518, All Models.
•  One or more Hot-Swap backplanes located in the 3518 are connected to a bulkhead  connector without the use of a SCSI Repeater resulting in a direct SCSI connection to  the Host Bus SCSI Adapter / Controller located in the Server the 3518 is connected to.
•  One or more Hot-Swap backplanes in the 3518 have only one attached SCSI Cable.
•  If there is a daisy chain cable between any 2 backplanes and there are only 3 drives  in each backplane with no SCSI repeater, then add the terminator at the unconnected  connector of the last backplane.

PREREQUISITES: NONE

COMPANION:

None

CONCURRENT:

None

DETAIL:

Install a SCSI Power Terminator FRU P/N 03K9283 on the exit cable connector on the Hot-Swap backplane(s) that has ONLY one attached SCSI Cable.

1.  Power OFF the 3518 Enclosure and the Attached Server.
2.  Open the front Cover faceplate of the 3518 enclosure.
3.  Locate the black latch on the left side and lift it  from the bottom. Pull the entire front cover off starting  working from the top to the bottom.
4.  Open the side access panel door.
5.  Remove the two screws (shown by stars below). This will  release the front half of the fan assembly.
    Lift the entire fan assembly approximately 1/2 inch to release  from slots on the backside.

6.  Carefully rotate the fan assembly towards the back of the  enclosure, taking care to avoid stressing the fan power cables.
7.  Locate the exit cable connector at the far end of the  backplane (opposite end from jumpers) as depicted below.

8.  Insert the Power Terminator FRU p/n03K9283 into the exit connector.  Push it firmly but gently.
9.  Reinstall the fan assembly making certain to seat the back side properly into the slots.
10.  Secure the front side of the fan assembly with the original 2 screws.
11.  Close the side door.
12.  Reinstall the front cover being sure to secure the black latch on the left side.
13.  Power up the 3518 Enclosure.
14.  Power up the Server.
