4. If the tape drive in the library is the last device on the SCSI bus, install a
terminator on the unused SCSI connector.
 Daisy-chaining—If the tape drive is not the last device on the SCSI bus,
or if you have two tape drives installed in the library, connect another
SCSI cable between the tape drive and the next device on the bus.
 Bus termination—If there are additional devices on the SCSI bus, ensure
that only the device at the physical end of the bus is terminated.

Both LTO-2 and LTO-3 SCSI tape drives require an Ultra 3 or
LVD 160 terminator to function properly on the SCSI bus. An
inadequate terminator will result in various SCSI bus issues,
including bus hangs and Read/Write failures. See “Tape Drive
Fails with Sporadic Errors” on page 201.
