4 Profile PLS20 Data Tape Drive
Connect the Drive to the SCSI Bus
The PLS20 receives both data and commands through a single SCSI connector.
Figure 12 shows examples of how to connect your tape drive to a Profile
system.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the tape drive and the Profile Professional
Disk Recorder, make sure that both devices are powered off when you
connect the cables on the back.
1. Connect the tape drive to one of the SCSI ports on the Profile rear panel with
the provided cable.
a. On a PDR100, connect to the SCSI A or SCSI B connector, or to another
device in the chain connected to that bus.
b. On a PDR200, connect to the SCSI B or SCSI D connector, or to another
device in the chain connected to that bus.
2. If the tape drive is the last device on the SCSI bus, install a terminator on the
other connector. If it is not the last device, connect another SCSI cable. Do
not install more than four Profile Data Tape Drives to a single Profile system.
NOTE: You may not connect a PLS200 Profile Library System and
a PLS20 Profile Data Tape Drive to the same Profile system.
However, you may connect up to four Profile Data Tape Drives to the
same Profile system, provided you do not exceed two PLS20s per
SCSI bus.
See Appendix A for cable and terminator requirements.
