| Note: The controller and Octet Conductor are |
| connected via two adapter cables. One cable extends |
| from connector J3 to the "CABLE1-IN" connector on the |
| Octet Conductor (via external connector J2). A second |
| cable extends from J4 to "CABLE2-IN" on the Octet |
| Conductor (via an Adapter Cable Extender that fits |
| into a open slot next to the controller). The cable |
| extender provides the path between the secondary |
| internal connector J4 and the external cable. |

| MISCELLANEOUS TECHNICAL INFORMATION |
|------------------------------------------------------------|
| The Octet Conductor controller interfaces between the host |
| system and an Octet Station, which duplicates the contents |
| of one master drive to eight target drives. Two Octet |
| Conductor controllers can be installed per system to |
| perform a total of sixteen target drive duplications. |
