12 Connecting the VLS
Connecting More Than One VLS
If you are connecting additional VLS units on the same SCSI channel, simply attach
each subsequent unit to the previous unit with an interface cable. Make sure all cables
are properly secured. You can attach up to seven devices on each SCSI channel.

Note
Each VLS unit contains more than one SCSI device and may require more than one
SCSI ID (depending on the mode of use and number of drives). The first chart below
shows various configurations and the number of SCSI IDs required. The second chart
illustrates how many VLS units you can attach to one SCSI channel (if there are no
other devices on the channel).
