CONNECTING THE AUTOLOADER TO SCSI

3.From the back of the rack, attach the autoloader to the rails by inserting an M3 screw into each of the small flanges (see Figure 2-7). Tighten the screws using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.

CONNECTING THE AUTOLOADER TO SCSI

This section provides guidelines for connecting the autoloader to a host system via SCSI. The autoloader includes two SCSI devices: the autoloader itself and the tape drive. The two devices share one set of wide, low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI connectors for connection to a SCSI bus. Up to

16 devices can be connected to a wide LVD SCSI bus.

! Important	Both LTO-2 and LTO-3 SCSI tape drives are Ultra 160 SCSI
	devices and require a minimum Ultra 160 non-RAID SCSI host
	bus adapter card, Ultra 160 rated SCSI cabling, and an Ultra 3
	Active SCSI terminator.

Caution Do not connect the autoloader to a high-voltage differential (HVD) SCSI bus. Doing so may damage the autoloader, tape drive, or other devices on the bus.

GUIDELINES FOR CONNECTING TO SCSI

Keep these guidelines in mind as you plan your SCSI connections:

Do not connect to an inadequate host bus adapter.

	devices and require a minimum Ultra 160 non-RAID SCSI host
	bus adapter card.
