Internal Cable Connections:  

Depending on your machine type, up to six (6)

SCSI devices can be plugged into a backplane. A 16-bit cable attaches the
adapter's internal connector Channel B (J4) or Channel A (J6) to the backplane. See
Figure 1-1 on page 1-2 for an illustration of the SCSI connectors.

To use internal SCSI devices in your system, obtain the necessary cables for your
system unit. Install the cables using information found in your system unit User's
Guide. Terminators are already built onto the backplane within your system unit.
