The tabletop drives provide two SCSI connectors to allow daisy chaining.
Either connector can connect to the host computer or any SCSI device in a
daisy chain.
•
If the tabletop is the last drive in the chain an interface cable is attached
to one connector and a SCSI terminator (PN 12-30552-01) is installed in
the other connector.
•
If the drive is within the chain, the interface cable from the preceding
device is connected in one connector; an interface cable is also connected
from the other connector to the following device.
NOTE
Make sure that the last SCSI device on the bus is terminated correctly.
2.4 Connecting a SCSI Signal Cable — Drive to System
If you are connecting a TLZ07-DA drive or TLZ7L-DA autoloader
directly to your system, you should use the SCSI signal cable supplied
as part of your system installation kit.
If you do not have this cable, contact your Digital sales representative. You
should use a cable supplied by Digital Equipment Corporation. Failure to do
so can result in degraded performance of your tabletop drive.
To connect a SCSI cable — drive to system — perform the following:
1.
Connect one end of the cable to the system SCSI connector.
2.
Connect the other end of the SCSI signal cable to either SCSI connector on
the rear of the TLZ07-DA drive or TLZ7L-DA autoloader.
3.
Secure the SCSI cable by snapping the wire cable clamps (on either side of
the SCSI connector) into place.
4.
Connect the SCSI terminator to the other SCSI connector on the rear of
the TLZ07-DA drive or TLZ7L-DA autoloader.
5.
Secure the terminator by snapping the wire cable clamps (on either side of
the SCSI connector) into place.
