ONNECTING

THE

UTOLOADER

SCSI

Connect a SCSI cable to the host computer and to one of the autoloader’s

SCSI connectors.

Figure 2-8

shows the location of the autoloader’s SCSI

connectors.

If the autoloader is the last device on the SCSI bus, install a terminator on

the unused SCSI connector.

Daisy-chaining—If the autoloader is not the last device on the bus,

connect another SCSI cable from the autoloader’s SCSI connector to the

next device on the bus.

Bus termination—If there are additional devices on the SCSI bus, ensure

that only the device at the physical end of the bus is terminated.

Important

Do not over-tighten the SCSI cable jack screws.

! !

Important

Both LTO-2 and LTO-3 SCSI tape drives require an Ultra 3 or

LVD 160 terminator to function properly on the SCSI bus. An

inadequate terminator will result in various SCSI bus issues,

including bus hangs and Read/Write failures.
See

Tape Drive Operation

(Tape drive fails with sporadic

errors) on

page 107

for failure symptoms associated with using

the wrong terminator.
