Connecting SCSI Cables
This section describes the supported SCSI cable configurations for the tape
libraries.
ESL9322 SCSI Cable Configurations
Figure 11 shows the SCSI ports as viewed from the rear of the ESL9322 tape
library.
Figure 11: SCSI ports (ESL9322)
Looking from the rear of the ESL9322 tape library, connect the SCSI cables and
terminators as shown in Figure 12.
Note: ESL9322 series libraries are equipped with internal SCSI cables and terminators
in place for a one drive per SCSI bus configuration. This is the recommended
configuration (and the required configuration for Ultrium 460 drives) and ensures
optimal performance.
Figure 12 shows the internal SCSI cabling. The connectors are on the SCSI ports
that are shown in Figure 11 on page 41.
Note: Drive numbering begins with 0. Consequently, the first drive is drive 0, the
second drive is drive 1, etc.
