cable). Ensure that the trilink or Y cable at both ends of the differential segment of the shared SCSI bus is terminated with an HD68 differential terminator such as an H879-AA.

The single-ended SCSI bus may be daisy chained from one single-ended tape drive to another with cable part number 146745-003 or 146776-003

(0.9-meter cables) as long as the SCSI bus maximum length of 3 meters (fast SCSI) is not exceeded. Ensure that the tape drive on the end of the bus is terminated with terminator part number 341102-001.

You can add additional shared SCSI buses with Compaq 20/40 GB DLT Tape Drives by adding additional DWZZB-AA/Compaq 20/40 GB DLT Tape Drive combinations.

______________________ Notes ______________________

Ensure that there is no conflict with tape drive and host bus adapter SCSI IDs.

To achieve system performance capabilities, we recommend placing no more than two Compaq 20/40 GB DLT Tape Drives on a SCSI bus, and also recommend that no shared storage be placed on the same SCSI bus with the tape drive.
