Step 5: Set the SCSI Interface Mode Switch
Do not connect any cables yet.
The SCSI interface mode switch, shown below, is on the rear panel between the bus
1 and bus 2 SCSI ports.
SCSI Interface Mode Switch (Example)
To set the SCSI interface mode switch:
1. Determine how to connect the library according to:
•
Number of drives in the library and drive type
•
Other peripherals (if any) on your system
•
Type of SCSI card (differential or single-ended)
For best library performance, connect only one library on a SCSI bus.
2. Set the SCSI interface mode switch.
SCSI Interface Mode Switch Settings
Purpose
Sends power to the terminator.
Terminates the SCSI bus. Functions the
same as a physical terminator.
Specifies whether you are using the
differential or single-ended port.

Set to
ON in most installations
ON if the tape drive is the last device
on the SCSI chain
OFF if another peripheral will connect
to the library
DIFF for differential
SE for single-ended
