connectors
The SAS 2 connector contains a notch that allows SAS 2 cables that are longer than 4
meters to be connected to the device.
Note: Quantum recommends using SAS cables that are no longer than 4 meters when
connecting to a host.
Connecting the Cables To connect the SCSI, SAS, Fibre Channel and power cables:
1 Shut down
and turn off the selected server. Turn off all attached accessory devices,
such as printers and other SCSI devices.
2 Attach on
e end of the SCSI cable (included in the accessory kit) to one of the
connectors on the back panel of the autoloader (see figure
14).
3 Attach the othe
r end of the SCSI cable to the connector on the SCSI host adapter or
to the connector on the previous device on the SCSI bus.
Note: If your autoloader is equipped with a Fibre Channel or SAS tape drive, a Fibre
Channel (see
figure 12) or SAS (see figure 13) cable replaces the SCSI cable and
terminator.
