Step 7. Connecting The Scsi Bus Cable - Tandberg Data StorageLoader Quick Installation Manual

Tandberg Data
The SCSI address is a unique address that identifies the unit connected to the SCSI
bus. The StorageLoader uses two SCSI addresses or Id's. One is for the loader
robotics controller and the other is for the tape drive. The SCSI addresses can be
configured through the operator buttons and the display on the front panel. In most
cases the default addresses can be used. The default SCSI address for the
StorageLoader robotics is 4 and the tape drive has SCSI address set to 5.
To set the SCSI addresses for the StorageLoader and the built in tape drive, see the
Installation and User manual for details. You may also wish to reserve a magazine
slot for a cleaning cartridge, and set a security password at this time.
Changing some of these settings causes the StorageLoader and the drive to
automatically reboot.

Step 7. Connecting the SCSI Bus Cable

Guidelines before connecting the SCSI cable:
A) Before the SCSI bus cable is connected to the StorageLoader, turn the
StorageLoader power switch off.
B) Make sure that your host system is in a state were a new SCSI device can be
safely connected to the SCSI bus.
C) Do not exceed SCSI bus length restrictions.
1. Add the length of all external and internal SCSI cables on the bus
2. Add 80 cm (31.5 inch) for the internal cable length in the StorageLoader.
3. The maximum allowed length of an LVD SCSI bus is 12 m (39 ft) if the
number of SCSI devices exceeds two.
