As shown in
figure 9
and
figure 10
, the rear panels of the tabletop LTO-3 Half-Height
Tape Drives have connectors for:
• Either a 68-pin parallel SCSI cable (two connectors), or a 26-pin SFF-8088 mini-SAS
style interface cable
• The AC power cable
For the tabletop parallel SCSI drive, either SCSI connector can be used as a SCSI IN or
SCSI OUT connection. This means you can use either connector to attach the drive to a
host computer or to another parallel SCSI device.
