Installing the SCSI
Tabletop Tape Drive
3
Tabletop tape drive installation consists of connecting SCSI bus and
power cables.
Figure 13
shows the location of the two SCSI bus connectors and power
connector on the back of the tabletop tape drive.
SCSI Cables
3
You can connect the SCSI bus cable leading from the host adapter to
either of the tape drive SCSI connectors. If the tape unit is the last device
on the bus, then you should install a SCSI terminator on the open
connector. If the bus continues from the tape drive to another SCSI
device, then install a SCSI bus cable between the open connector and the
next device on the bus. Figure 15
illustrates these two connection
methods.
