Connecting SCSI Drives to Hosts
The procedure in this subsection tells how to directly attach SCSI tape drives directly to the host computers.
Required tools: ESD strap
1
Open the service door of the control module or expansion module.
2
Attach the ESD strap to your wrist and to an unpainted surface inside the door.
3
Unwrap the SCSI cables.
4
Label each end of the cables with the drive number and the destination host name. You should label
the end that connects to the tape drive with the name of the host and the end that connects to the host
with the name and location of the tape drive. This will help you find the correct cable if there is a cable
problem in the future.
5
Connect the SCSI cable to the port on the drives.
6
Install the SCSI terminators.
Note
The goal when installing the SCSI cables is to keep the cables out of the way of
the other components in the control module or expansion module. You will use
the cable keepers and Velcro straps to accomplish this.
