NOTE:
Drive SCSI cables are labeled “A”, ”B”, ”C”, and ”D” on the drive end to
indicate the drive location. Drive SCSI cables are labeled ”0”, ”1”, ”2”,
and ”3” on the interface controller end to indicate the SCSI port location.
The most ef
fi
cient order for making these connections is as follows:
1.
1. Connect a SCSI cable from drive D to port 3 on the interface
controller.
2.
2. Connect a SCSI cable from drive B to port 1 on the interface
controller.
3.
3. Connect a SCSI cable from drive C to port 2 on the interface
controller.
4.
4. Connect a SCSI cable from drive A to port 0 on the interface
controller.
NOTE:
Clusters are numbered sequentially from 0 to 5, with 0 at the top of the
cabinet, just below the card cage.
a.
Gently tighten the screws to secure the cable to the drive port using a
slotted screwdriver.
CAUTION:
Do not overtighten the screws that secure the cable to the drive port.
b.
Route it through the cable access holes in the sheet metal on the right
of the library cabinet.
For drive clusters 0 through 2, dip the excess cable length down into the
upper cable access hole. For drive clusters 3 through 5, route the cables
up through the lower and upper access holes. Push the
fi
rst set of cables to
the back of the library to create space for additional cables. This will help
prevent the cables from becoming tangled. See
