SCSI Cabling Guidelines

0

Refer to these SCSI cabling guidelines when completing the SCSI 

cabling:
• Each device on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. The 

default settings are: library robotics = 0, tape drive 1 = 1, tape drive 

2 =2. You can change these SCSI ID settings using the 

Drive ID

 and 

Library ID

 options on the GUI 

Configuration

 screen.

• Termination must be provided at each end of the SCSI bus (see 

Terminator Power

).

• Do not mix low voltage differential (LVD) and high voltage 

differential (HVD) SCSI devices on the same bus. Ensure that the 

host adapters match the devices on the bus.

• All SCSI cables must be shielded or double shielded to meet EMI 

specifications.

• The maximum total SCSI bus length for an LVD SCSI bus is 40 feet 

(12 meters).

• The maximum total SCSI bus length for an HVD SCSI bus is 82 feet 

(25 meters).

(Interlibrary and

StackLink motor

cables omitted for

clarity)

The number of drives per bus is determined by the

data transfer performance of the host and drives.

To host adapter

To host adapter(s)

to any M1500
module)

(may be connected

Remaining library
connectors may
