Figure 1-3 Setting the Drive Sled for Single-Ended Operation
Note: Your system disk should always be set to SCSI ID 1. Be sure each SCSI
device on a bus has a unique SCSI address (ID). The SCSI bus cannot
function properly if more than one device has the same SCSI ID.
Terminating the SCSI Bus
The internal SCSI channels in a rackmount or deskside system and a data
storage unit are configured so that front-loading devices (FLDs) can be
added or removed without affecting the channel termination.
No additional
termination is required.
Installing the Tape Drive
The drive must be properly mounted on a drive sled and configured for a
channel and single-ended operating protocol, as described in “Configuring
the Drive Sled for Single-Ended Operation” on page 7.
