To Connect the library to the SCSI Bus:
1. Connect the host computer’s SCSI cable to one of the library’s SCSI connectors. The location
of the library’s SCSI connectors is shown in the following figure.
Figure 15. SCSI Bus Connectors
NOTE
When you attach the SCSI cables to the SCSI connectors, tighten the
SCSI cable jack screws to no more than 2.0 inch-pounds (2.3 kg-cm)
of torque.
2. Connect other SCSI cables, as necessary, depending on your bus configuration. If the library
and tape drives are to share one bus, use jumper cables to connect them. For any device
that terminates the bus, install a terminator on one of the SCSI connectors for that device.
For example, the illustration below shows how the library and tape drives can be connected
to one SCSI bus.
