4. If the SLR Autoloader is the only SCSI device you want to connect to the

interface card, connect the cable from the interface card to the incoming SCSI
connector, attach the terminator to the outgoing SCSI connector, then skip to
step 6.

5. If you have two or more additional SCSI devices to connect to the interface card,

your SLR Autoloader must be connected in daisy-chain fashion.  That means
that the cable from the interface card must be connected to the incoming SCSI
connector of the first SCSI device, the cable from the outgoing connector of the
first device must be connected to the incoming connector of the second SCSI
device, and so on. You can connect them in any order.  The terminator must be
attached to the outgoing SCSI connector of the last device in the chain.

6. Make sure that each cable you use meets the specifications listed earlier in this

chapter.
