Chapter 2 Installation
SCSI bus, shorter than 12 meters (39 ft. 4.4 in). (When connecting the AIT
library to a single-ended SCSI host adapter that provides SCSI termination,
use a SCSI cable shorter than 1.5 meters or 59 inches.)
• Using SCSI cables longer than 30cm (11.8 in.) to connect between devices is
recommended.
• SCSI cables cannot be branched.
Notes
• For information about the SCSI bus, refer to “SCSI Specifications” (page 86)
in the “Appendix” chapter.
• Prepare the necessary SCSI cables. For information about SCSI cable
specifications, refer to “SCSI Cable and Terminator Specifications” (page 86)
in the “Appendix” chapter.
1
Confirm that the power to the host computer and AIT library are turned off.
2
Attach the SCSI cable and terminator as shown in the figure below.
The manner in which it is attached varies with the number of internal
drives.
When there is only one standard internal AIT drive (AIT drive is
not added):
1
Use a SCSI cable (sold at stores) to connect the AIT library to the host
computer.
2
Connect the SCSI cable to connector 1.
3
Attach the provided terminator to connector 2.
Nothing is connected to connector 3 and connector 4.
When an AIT drive is added (there are two installed AIT drives):
1
Use a SCSI cable (sold at stores) to connect the AIT library to the host
computer.
2
Connect the SCSI cable to connector 1.
3
Connect a SCSI jumper cable (sold at stores) from connector 3 to
connector 4.
