Peripherals
In most circumstances, the recommended configuration for this jukebox is as the
only device on a SCSI bus. However, your use of the jukebox may be such that
another device could be connected to the bus without a loss of performance.
There are many issues that must be considered when connecting another devices on
the same bus with this jukebox such as the following:
• How the jukebox is used; archiving, backup, near-line storage. What
performance must be maintained
• How the additional peripheral will be used. How much demand will it place on
the bus
Bus length available.
