Connecting More than One FastStor

If you are connecting more than one FastStor on the same SCSI channel, simply connect each unit to the previous unit with an additional shielded interface cable. It does not matter which SCSI connector on each FastStor you connect the interface cable to. Make sure that you configure each FastStor unit with a unique drive SCSI ID and loader ID. Your FastStors will not function properly if they have the same SCSI IDs.

Preparing the Host Computer System

Installing the Application Software

At this point you need to refer to your software installation guide for instructions on installing the backup/controlling software for the FastStor onto the host computer.
