Daisy Chain Connection

2-20
To create a daisy chain with one or more tape libraries and other SCSI devices,
perform the following procedure. Be sure that each device on the SCSI bus has
a different target address before you finish.
1. Be sure the power switches are off (with the O side of the power switch
pushed down) on your desktop system and all of the peripherals
connected to it.
Be sure each power cord is plugged into a separate AC power outlet.
2. Connect the SCSI cable to a SCSI port on the back panel of your desktop
system.
If you need to disconnect a SCSI cable, press in on the clips on the sides of
the connector and pull the connector out of the SCSI port.
Note – If the system you are connecting to the tape library does not have an
available SCSI port, you must install the appropriate SCSI host adaptor into the
system and connect the SCSI cable to the host adaptor. Refer to the manual that
came with the host adaptor for installation instructions.
3. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to one of single SCSI ports on the
back panel of the tape library.
4. Connect one end of another SCSI cable to the other single SCSI port on
the back panel of the tape library.
5. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI port on the back
panel of the next peripheral unit in the stack.
Repeat this step until you reach the last SCSI device.
