Connecting SCSI Cables
Follow this procedure if you are installing a library that includes SCSI tape drives.

Guidelines for Connecting SCSI Cables
1. Before SCSI bus cables are connected to the StorageLibrary, make sure the StorageLibrary
power switch is off.
2. Make sure your host system is in a state where a new SCSI device can be safely connected to
the SCSI bus.
Do not exceed SCSI bus length restrictions.
Add the length of all external and internal SCSI cables on the bus.
Add 26.4 cm (10.4 inch) for the internal cable length in the StorageLibrary.
3. If the number of SCSI devices exceeds two, the maximum allowed length of an LVD SCSI bus is
12 m (39 ft).
4. Before the StorageLibrary is powered on and the system is re-started, make sure the SCSI bus is
properly terminated.
Connecting the Cables
1. Connect SCSI cables to the tape drive .
Connect a jumper cable between the top SCSI connector of the bottom drive and the
bottom SCSI connector of the drive above it. Repeat this step for all the drives on the
SCSI bus. Secure the cable with the thumbscrews on the connectors.
Terminate the last device on the SCSI bus using the appropriate SCSI terminator.
Connect a cable between the first drive on the SCSI bus and the host.
2. Connect your Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the library. This will give remote
access to the library via the remote management interface. Push the cable until it snaps into
place. Connect the other end to a normal 10/100 BaseT Ethernet outlet.
