• After setting the DIP switches on the slave unit, connect the computers using the same
procedure outlined in steps 5 to 9 in the previous section. DO NOT POWER UP THE
COMPUTERS YET.
• Using the F1D108-CBL daisy-chain cable, connect one end to the "Master Input/ Slave
Output" of the unit. Refer to the diagram above.
• If the previous unit is the MASTER, then the other end of the cable connects to
the "Master Input/Slave Output" port of the MASTER (such as cable 1 in the
diagram above).
• If the previous unit is a slave, then the other end goes to the "Slave Input" port of
the previous slave unit (such as cables 2 and 3 in the diagram above).
