Connecting the cables (SCSI library)
5 Connecting the cables (SCSI library)
For the 430M, 430A, 215M, and 215A SCSI libraries, connect the SCSI cables
as described in this section. For the 430M-FC Fibre Channel library, go to
Section 6, “Connecting the cables (Fibre Channel library),” on page 8.
1.
If you replaced a tape drive, reconnect the SCSI cables (or cable and
terminator) to the new tape drive as they were before. If you installed
an additional tape drive that will be on the same SCSI bus as the other
drives in the library, remove the terminator from the adjacent drive and
install it on the new drive. Then, use the SCSI cable provided in the kit
to connect the new tape drive to the adjacent drive. The following
figure is an example of a typical cable and terminator configuration for
three tape drives on a single SCSI bus.
2.
Reconnect the power cord and power on the library. The library
automatically calibrates the position of the new tape drive.
3. If you installed a new tape drive, set the SCSI ID for the drive as
described in
Exabyte 430M and 430A Libraries Installation and Operation
or
Exabyte 215M and 215A Libraries Installation and Operation. If you
replaced a drive, the new drive automatically assumes the SCSI ID of
the old tape drive.
4.
Proceed to Section 7, “Testing the library and resuming operation,” on
page 9.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the tape drive, make sure the
library is powered off when you connect it to the SCSI
bus.
