Stacked Library Configuration
Note:
Quantum ships sufficient SCSI cables and terminators with the libraries to
set up two-drives per SCSI bus. One tape drive per SCSI bus may be
necessary for optimum performance. Refer to your tape drive
documentation.
Note:
SCSI cable lengths should not exceed:
• 39.37 feet (12 meters) between the host and the library for single drive per bus
installations.
