Autoloader SCSI Connections

The autoloader incorporates a wide SCSI-2, Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI bus, but may also
be attached to a Single-Ended (SE) SCSI bus. Make sure your SCSI host system adapter or
controller supports these standards. If you connect the autoloader to the SE SCSI bus or if there
are SE devices attached to the same SCSI bus, the autoloader's performance is limited to the
maximum data transfer speed and maximum cable lengths of the SE bus.
The autoloader is NOT compatible with a standard differential (Diff) or High-Voltage Differential
(HVD) SCSI bus. The autoloader is compatible with a narrow (50-pin) SCSI bus using a 68-pin to
50-pin adapter that terminates the unused 18 pins. These adapters are sometimes labeled high-
byte termination.

Connecting SCSI and Power Cables

The following describes how to connect the SCSI and power cables.
The autoloader is an Ultra-2 Wide device. Only use cables and terminators
NOTE:
specified for Ultra-2 use or labeled as MultiMode.
To connect the SCSI and power cables to the autoloader
1. Shut down and turn off the selected server. Turn off all attached devices, such as printers and
other SCSI devices. Remove the power cables from the server and all attached accessories.
CAUTION:
2. Attach one end of the SCSI cable to one of the connectors on the rear panel of the autoloader.
3. Attach the other end of the SCSI cable to the connector on the SCSI host system bus adapter
or to the connector on the previous device on the SCSI bus.
