Chapter A:
SCSI interface
The autoloader has a standard SCSI interface. One SCSI cable and one SCSI
terminator are included with the autoloader. Additional cables and terminators
can be ordered from Gateway.
Important
SCSI ID settings
The autoloader contains two SCSI ID settings — one for the autoloader's SCSI
controller and one for the tape drive's SCSI controller. If there is another device
already assigned to these IDs, you need to change the IDs. For more
information, see "Changing the SCSI ID settings" on page 53.

The LVD SCSI interface is compatible with a single-ended
SCSI bus. However, do not attach the autoloader to a
non-LVD SCSI controller because this will degrade the
performance of the tape drive and the performance of your
backups.
Do not attach non-LVD SCSI devices to the same bus
cable as your autoloader because this will degrade the
performance of the tape drive and the performance of your
backups.
Do not connect the tape drive to a disk RAID controller
because this is not supported.
If you are installing an adapter, we recommended that you
purchase a SCSI LVD controller kit that includes a SCSI
cable and SCSI terminator (unless provided with your
autoloader).
We strongly recommended that you do not attach the
autoloader to the same SCSI bus as your SCSI hard
drive(s).
