Scsi Bus; Scsi Guidelines - Sun Microsystems SPARCstorage Library Service Manual

C.1.3 SCSI Bus
C.2 SCSI Guidelines
The SCSI cable connected to the SCSI host adapter card (such as the SSHA,
FBE/S, or SBE/S), the SPARCstorage Library, and other devices on the SCSI
bus provides a pathway to pass the commands between the host computer
system and the targets.
Follow these SCSI guidelines when connecting devices to a SCSI bus:
•
Terminate the SCSI bus at both ends. Connect a regulated SCSI terminator
to the last device on the SCSI bus.
•
The tape drives are single-ended. Make sure that all devices on the same
SCSI bus as the SPARCstorage Library are also single-ended.
•
Make sure that the SCSI bus length does not exceed 6 meters (19.7 feet).
