Figure 18 Connecting Two
Drives on One SCSI Bus
Note:
When adding a second tape drive for configurations using a single SCSI bus,
unplug the SCSI cable from tape drive 1, pass the end of the cable through the
internal rackmount enclosure openings, and connect the end port to tape drive
2. Then plug the middle port into tape drive 1. The SCSI terminator is at the end
of the cable and should be behind tape drive 2.
Note:
Each SCSI device on the same SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. Be sure that
the SCSI ID is different for each tape drive and that neither is set to SCSI ID 7.
Connecting One Drive per SCSI Bus
Use the configuration shown in
when connecting each tape drive to a
separate SCSI bus.
