7. Free the SCSI data cable from the metal cable clips on the chassis wall,
and from the plastic cable clips on the card guide.
See Figure 9-12.

the SCSI backplane.
See Figure 9-12.
9. Remove the internal SCSI data cable from the chassis.
9.4.2 Replacing the Internal SCSI Data Cable
The internal SCSI cable assembly has three cable connectors; colored tape joins
two of the cables close to the P2 connector. Markers on the cables will help you
align them properly. The markers are a part-number (on a tape) and three
connector labels (P1, P2, and P3).
When properly installed, the P1 cable of the assembly connects to the SCSI
backplane with the part number aligned between the plastic cable clips on the
card guide (see Figure 9-15). The P3 cable connects to the system board and is
threaded through the chassis wall metal cable guides. The P2 connector is
routed through the gap between the hard disk drive and the chassis wall. The
P2 cable connects to the CD-ROM drive (if installed), or is secured under the
metal cable clips on the chassis floor.
1. Secure the SCSI data cable under the plastic card guide cable clips.
See Figure 9-15. The part number portion of the SCSI data cable should be
positioned directly between the plastic card guide cable.
