3.
Attach the other end of the SCSI cable to the connector on the SCSI host bus adapter or to the
connector on the previous device on the SCSI bus.
INFORMATION
The host bus adapter should be LVDS. A SE SCSI host
bus adapter will work, but will severely degrade
performance, and limit cable length. If there are any SE
devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will
negotiate down to SE speed and severely degrade
performance. Never attach the LTO3 tape drive to a SE
SCSI bus
4.
Attach the terminator to the remaining SCSI connector on the back panel of the Library; if the
Library is the last or only device on the SCSI bus (see Figure 3). Otherwise, attach one end of a
SCSI cable to the remaining port and the other end to the next device on the SCSI bus. Make sure
that the last device on the SCSI bus in properly terminated.
