The Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage can also be split into two parts, with up to two drives on one SCSI bus
and 6 drives on the other SCSI bus (requires duplex board accessory kit). This requires two SCSI cables
(additional SCSI cables are included in the duplex board accessory kit).
If the duplex board is installed, the embedded dual channel SCSI controller, a dual channel SCSI disk
controller board, or a DAC board must be used to control the two halves of the Hot Swap Mass Storage
Cage.

Description
Source
Floppy Disk Cable
This cable always connects to
the Flexible disk drive in the
system.
This cable can only connect to the
floppy connector on the system board.
IDE Cable
This cable always connects to
the IDE devices (CD-ROM) in
the HP Server tc4100.
This cable can only connect to the
embedded IDE connector on the
system board.
Round Twisted Pair SCSI Cable
This cable always connects to
the non-hot swap drives and
has a termination at the end.
This cable can be connected only to
the embedded SCSI A channel and a
PCI SCSI Card or a PCI HP NetRAID
card.
Flat Twisted Pair SCSI Cable
This cable always connects to
the Hot Swap Mass Storage
Cage and has no termination.
This cable is typically connected to the
embedded SCSI B channel, a SCSI
disk controller board, or a HP
NetRAID (DAC) board.
Internal/External SCSI Cable
This sheathed ribbon cable
(optional) is always used for
the external connector.
This cable can be connected only to
the embedded SCSI channel A.
