Figure 7. Rear Panel of the Desktop Drive

Connecting the SCSI Interface Cable
The desktop DAT24 tape drive has two SCSI connectors to allow daisy chaining (see Figure 7 on
page 19. You can use either connector to attach the drive to the host computer or to another SCSI
device.
NOTE: Turn off all power before connecting or disconnecting SCSI cables or terminating plugs.
If the desktop drive is the last device or the only device in a SCSI chain, install a terminating plug on
the unused SCSI connector. Figure 8 on page 19 shows two SCSI termination examples.
