terminator.)

Removable drives

For HP StorageWorks DAT removable tape drives, termination is provided by connecting a terminator to
the spare SCSI connector on the rear of the tape array. There are two connectors for each bay in the tape
array. It doesn't matter which is used for SCSI-IN and SCSI-OUT.
If you have each removable drive in the tape array attached to a separate bus, then, for each bay in use,
you must attach a terminator to the spare connector for each device.
If you are using the removable drives to mirror backups, you can daisy-chain devices (but no more
