There are two versions of this. The -001 version is for the
8551 (N51) and the -002 version is for the 9552 (TP700/720). Ed.
-001 lacks SCSI?

Odd configuration. The system board component side faces DOWN. The circuitboard
on top is covered with a insulating shield.
Note: The built-in SCSI controller
(-002 only?) includes an active terminator. This terminator automatically
works when an external SCSI device is attached.

Not totally sure- the LED PCB has some bussed pins.
Installing Adapters
You can install two full length 16 or 32 bit cards in the 3550
(but only permit 16-bit operation). Another gotcha- The slot cover guides
are the same as on other microchannel systems. But the catch for the card
guide is a sliding catch, not a flexible one like on the 76/77 models.
To open the catch
Look at the vertical card guide restraint. About 2/3rds down,
there is a horizontal tab. Push in on the end of the tab, then push the
card guide restraint forward until it reaches the stop. To fasten it back,
just slide it to the rear until the locking tab snaps into place.
Note: When installing a 3.5"
drive in a 3550 Expansion Unit, use the hard disk drive slide assembly
(FRU 85F0035) supplied with the option. (Ed.
a model 95 sled).
The 3550 uses snap-in rail guides like those in the 77 series.
