Compaq AA-RHGWC-TE manual 46Configuring a Shared Scsi Bus for Tape Drive Use

You can reconfigure the tape drives and robotics controller to place multiple tape drives on the same SCSI bus with SCSI bus jumper (part number 6210567) included with the tape library.

______________________ Note _______________________

We recommend placing no more than two TZ89 drives on a SCSI bus segment. We also recommend that storage be placed on shared SCSI buses that do not have tape drives.

To reconfigure TL895 SCSI bus configuration, follow these steps:

1.Remove the SCSI bus cable from one drive to be daisy chained.

2.Remove the terminator from the other drive to be daisy chained.

3.Ensure that the drive that will be the last drive on the SCSI bus has a terminator installed.

4.Install a SCSI bus jumper cable (part number 6210567) on the open connectors of the two drives to be daisy chained.

Figure 8–14 shows an example of a TL895 that has tape drives 1, 3, and 5 daisy chained to tape drives 2, 4, and 6 respectively.
