ASUS AP5000 Installation Guide 11 DRIVE BA Y There are two types of drive bays, that could mount, floppy drive, CD- ROM drive and hard disk drive. One type is fixed type and another is removable type which has key-lock feature, refer to the following figures: BACK PLANE BOARD The ASUS Back Plane Board, DA-BP4 series, were designed for carrying four removable SCSI devices per Back Plane Board. Normally those re- movable SCSI drives are installed on the Hot-Swap Drive Bay with a small slot card connected together (Fig 2-7). When the completed drive set plugs in, the slot board of drive Bay and bus of DA-BP4 will be connected to- gether . After that, all the four SCSI-ID of SCSI devices could be managed from the switches of Back Plane Board (Fig 2-6). Moreover there are two models of Back Plane Boards available for none SAF-TE and SAF-TE which are named DA-BP4-1 and DA-BP4-1S. SAF-TE one mounted one more management chip named GEM200RE in which could provide additional status information of device drives (Detail refer to chapter 3).

ASUS AP5000 Installation Guide 27 III. Integration Housing III. Integration Procedures Integrating with the housing The housing could carry two Back Plane Boards to support eight SCSI drives in total, and the first Back Plane Board has to be placed on lower position of housing (Fig 3-33) and its two notches should connect to the openings housing with no space in between (Fig 3-34), so that it could en- large the force while inserting the drive bay . The second Back Plane Board also has to use similar method mentioned above for the connection. Next, fix them by screwing in the back and front of hosing as shown in Fig 3-35. Finally connect SCSI cables and power cables to the Back Plane Boards, and fix the SCSI cable on the cable clamps to prevent the conflict of re- moval or installation of Fan Frame (Fig 3-36) Connecting the SCSI cables If you are installing one back plane board into the system, connect the SCSI cable connector to the on-board SCSI connector directly . If you are installing two back plane boards into the system, insert another SCSI card and connect the two SCSI cables to it.

ASUS AP5000 Installation Guide 11 DRIVE BA Y There are two types of drive bays, that could mount, floppy drive, CD- ROM drive and hard disk drive. One type is fixed type and another is removable type which has key-lock feature, refer to the following figures: BACK PLANE BOARD The ASUS Back Plane Board, DA-BP4 series, were designed for carrying four removable SCSI devices per Back Plane Board. Normally those re- movable SCSI drives are installed on the Hot-Swap Drive Bay with a small slot card connected together (Fig 2-7). When the completed drive set plugs in, the slot board of drive Bay and bus of DA-BP4 will be connected to- gether . After that, all the four SCSI-ID of SCSI devices could be managed from the switches of Back Plane Board (Fig 2-6). Moreover there are two models of Back Plane Boards available for none SAF-TE and SAF-TE which are named DA-BP4-1 and DA-BP4-1S. SAF-TE one mounted one more management chip named GEM200RE in which could provide additional status information of device drives (Detail refer to chapter 3).

ASUS AP5000 Installation Guide 27 III. Integration Housing III. Integration Procedures Integrating with the housing The housing could carry two Back Plane Boards to support eight SCSI drives in total, and the first Back Plane Board has to be placed on lower position of housing (Fig 3-33) and its two notches should connect to the openings housing with no space in between (Fig 3-34), so that it could en- large the force while inserting the drive bay . The second Back Plane Board also has to use similar method mentioned above for the connection. Next, fix them by screwing in the back and front of hosing as shown in Fig 3-35. Finally connect SCSI cables and power cables to the Back Plane Boards, and fix the SCSI cable on the cable clamps to prevent the conflict of re- moval or installation of Fan Frame (Fig 3-36) Connecting the SCSI cables If you are installing one back plane board into the system, connect the SCSI cable connector to the on-board SCSI connector directly . If you are installing two back plane boards into the system, insert another SCSI card and connect the two SCSI cables to it.
