v For maximum drive performance:
v Install a SCSI terminator (
SCSI drive in your library.
v Connect one end of a SCSI cable to the lower receptacle of each SCSI drive (

in Figure 3-16), then connect the other end of the cable to the 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.
