Cabling With Fibre Channel Drives - IBM System Storage TS3310 Setup And Operator Manual

v For each SCSI drive, connect one end of a SCSI cable to the lower receptacle
of each SCSI drive ( 6 in Figure 3-33 on page 3-34), then connect the other
end of the cable tothe host.
v If you prefer to daisy-chain your SCSI drives:
a. Install a SCSI terminator in the upper receptacle of the top SCSI drive in
the daisy-chain.
b. Connect one end of a shorter drive-to-drive SCSI cable included in your
shipment to the lower receptacle of the top SCSI drive in the daisy-chain,
then connect the other end of the cable to the upper receptacle of the next
drive in the daisy-chain. Repeat this for every SCSI drive in your library.
c. On the last drive in the daisy-chain, connect one end of the longer
drive-to-host SCSI cable included in your shipment to the lower
receptacle of the last drive in the daisy-chain, then connect the other end
of the cable to the host.
Note: Maximum performance of the SCSI drives in your library will not be
achieved if the drives are daisy-chained.
6. Connect one end of the power cord ( 7 and 8 in Figure 3-33 on page 3-34) in
the receptacle of a power supply in your library, then connect the other end of
the cord to your power source. Repeat this for every power supply in your
library.
7. Continue with "Powering ON the Library" on page 3-37.
