Connecting the SCSI Interface Cables 5
In the final installation stage, you connect the SCSI and power cables to
the tape drive.
To connect the SCSI and power cables to the tape drive, follow these
steps:
1 Shut down the operating system and power down the server or
workstation.
2 Power off all peripheral devices, such as printers and other SCSI
devices.
3 Obtain a SCSI cable with an open 68-pin, high-density connector.
4 Connect one end of the SCSI cable to one of the connectors on the rear
panel of the tape drive as shown in figure 20
. Either SCSI connector
works equally well. Figure 20
does not show a terminator because
none of the three tape drives in the illustration are at the end of the
SCSI bus.
Caution: Do not go to step 3 until you have completed steps 1
and 2. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in damage to the tape drive or other devices.
