SCSI Cable Configurations
Use the following guidelines when configuring your SCSI cables:
•
Use the highest quality SCSI cables.
NOTE: Bus errors caused by excessive length or poor quality cables can significantly
degrade performance and reliability.
•
Each of the tape drives in the library and the library controller constitute a
separate SCSI target. When any two or more devices are connected to the same
SCSI bus, each separate SCSI device must be assigned a unique SCSI ID.
•
SCSI IDs are set at the factory. Use the GUI touch screen to change any of the
factory defaults.
•
To connect a library to a host, the host must have at least one Wide LVD/SE
controller and the appropriate driver software.
•
For best performance, do not attach more than two drives per SCSI bus.
•
It is recommended that the robot and corresponding drives on the same bus are
attached to host bus 0.
