SCSI cable configurations
The 4560SLX Tape Library supports multiple SCSI cable configurations on single
and dual host systems.
SCSI interface connectors
The library should be attached to a low voltage differential SCSI bus. Each tape
drive in the library and its robotics is a separate SCSI device. When two or more
devices are connected to the same SCSI bus, each SCSI device must be assigned a
unique SCSI ID. For information on assigning SCSI IDs, see “Setting a SCSI ID” on
page 21.
To connect a library to a host system, the host system must have at least one wide
LVD controller and the appropriate device driver software.
Interface cable specifications
The library is a high-performance system. To avoid degradation of performance,
use the highest quality interface cables from a reputable manufacturer of computer
cables. All SCSI cables used with the library should meet the following cable
specifications:
v Shielded or double-shielded as required to meet EMI specifications
v Impedance match with cable terminators that meet current SCSI specifications
v Characteristic impedance 115 ohms
All SCSI cables used with the library should meet the following usage guidelines:
v Each end of a twisted pair ground connected to chassis ground
v Maximum cable length of 39 ft. (12 m) for an LVD SCSI bus
v Cables of different impedances should not be used together
Additional specifications to ensure the highest SCSI performance can be found in
the current version of ANSI X3.131.
