Connecting the SCSI Cables and Terminators

After you have placed the library carefully and prepared it for operation,
you are ready to connect the Spectra 12000 library to the host bus.

There are four 68-pin micro-SCSI connectors per S-QIP or L-QIP on the
rear panel to connect the library to the system SCSI buses. The SCSI
connectors are labeled SCSI Port 1, IN and OUT; SCSI Port 2, IN and
OUT.

To attach SCSI connections between the library and the host:

1.

Put in the QIP controller cards, if they are not already installed. For
more information on installing QIPs, refer to Adding QIPs on page
149.

2.

Cable each host adapter to a unique bus on the QIP or daisy-chain it
to the next bus.

3.

Terminate each SCSI bus.

Note:

All SCSI buses must be terminated at the output of

the final SCSI device on the bus (see SCSI Terminator
Requirements
on page 160).

4.

Connect the AC power cord supplied with the Spectra 12000 library
to the AC connector on the rear of the library. Connect the other end
to a 110V AC outlet.

5.

Put in drive sleds, if they are not already installed. For more
information on adding drives, refer to Adding Drives on page 144.

6.

Go to Turning the Library On and Off on page 36 to power up the
Spectra 12000 library.
