8.12.2Preparing a TL881 or TL891 MiniLibrary for Shared SCSI Bus Use

The following sections describe how to prepare the TL881 and TL891 DLT MiniLibraries for shared SCSI bus use in more detail.

8.12.2.1Preparing a Tabletop Model or Base Unit for Standalone Shared SCSI Bus Usage

A TL881 or TL891 DLT MiniLibrary tabletop model or a rackmount base unit may be used standalone. You may want to purchase a rackmount base unit for future expansion.

______________________ Note _______________________

To achieve system performance capabilities, we recommend placing no more than two tape drives on a SCSI bus, and also recommend that no shared storage be placed on the same SCSI bus with a tape library.

The topics in this section provide information on preparing the TL881 or TL891 DLT MiniLibrary tabletop model or rackmount base unit for use on a shared SCSI bus.
