NOTE:
Single-Ended (SE) SCSI host bus adapter works, but severely degrades performance and
limits cable length. If any SE devices are on the same parallel SCSI bus, all of the devices
on the parallel SCSI bus slow to SE speed, which severely degrades performance. Never
attach an LTO-3 or LTO-4 tape drive to an SE SCSI bus.
4.
Attach the terminator to the remaining parallel SCSI connector on the back panel of the tape
drive if the tape library is the last or only device on the parallel SCSI bus. Otherwise, attach
one end of a parallel SCSI cable to the remaining port and the other end to the next device
on the parallel SCSI bus. Make sure the last device on the parallel SCSI bus is properly
terminated.
IMPORTANT:
must have a SCSI terminator unless the tape drive is part of a properly terminated chain.
This includes tape drives without an attached SCSI cable.
