2 Attach a spare SCSI cable to the SCSI connector.
If you are using an existing SCSI cable, simply attach the drive to a spare
connector on the computer’s SCSI ribbon cable, as shown in figure 1.12.
DAT8i and DAT24i drives only: If your computer has wide SCSI, use the
supplied 50-to-68-pin adapter to connect the tape drive to the SCSI bus.
Plug the adapter into the 68-pin SCSI connector on the computer and then
connect the SCSI cable from the adapter to the 50-pin SCSI connector on
the tape drive.
If you are using a new SCSI cable, attach the end farthest from the
terminator block to the computer’s internal SCSI connector, as shown in
figure 1.13, and attach one of the connectors to the tape drive.
