including the AIT autoloader and the host computer.
• When connecting the AIT autoloader as the last device on the SCSI bus, be

• In LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI, make the total length of the SCSI
cable (internal and external), which connects the host computer and the device
at the end of the SCSI bus, shorter than 12 m (39.4 ft.). (The length of the AIT
autoloader internal cable is 0.5 m (19.7 in.).)
• Using SCSI cables longer than 30 cm (11.8 in.) to connect between devices is
recommended.
