- Jaime,
-
- I'm afraid that the bit about the wiring and connectors lost me? To what are
- you referring?
-
- As for extending the SCSI cable outside of the box, it's not really set up for
- that (although it could be hacked to be that way in a lab). One of the major
- issues would be getting the cable through a bulkhead and maintaining EMI rating
- for the system. The internal SCSI is run through etch in the module to a cable
- connector near the drive plate. From there it cables up to the drives. Not the
- best orientation to use for going back outside of the system enclosure.
-
- I hope that's a little clearer.
-
- Thanx,
- AJ
