This feature adds flexibility and improved performance but also increases the complexity of the library. You need to understand both the dual and single SCSI bus features to choose where you will physically and electrically locate the new drive. - Page 9 For a comprehensive review of the internal configuration of the library, refer to Chapters 2 and 3 in the Spectra 10000 User Guide. The information in these sections details the proper configuration settings and cable connections for single-bus and dual-bus modes.
