Abstract: NETFINITY 5500: RAID OPTIONAL SCSI CABLE for EXTERNAL DEVICE

SYMPTOM:

When installing external SCSI devices to the Netfinity 5500, no external SCSI port is available to attach the external device to the server.

    Netfinity 5500 server Type 8660, any Model.
    Netfinity 5500 M10 server, Type 8661, any Model.

•  The system is NOT configured with an IBM Netfinity SCSI Controller Cable, Option 03K9313.
•  The system has the symptom described.
