Chapter 2
3.If more than one device in the library is on the same bus, place a jumper between the appropriate connectors.
4.For each device that terminates the bus (either the library or one of the tape drives), install a terminator on one of the connectors for that device. See the following section for an example of a wide SCSI library connected to two buses.
Example: Wide library on two SCSI buses
On SCSI Bus A, a cable connects the host to the library, and jumpers connect the library to Drive 1, and Drive 1 to Drive 2. Bus A is terminated with an external terminator installed on the lower connector for Drive 2.
On SCSI Bus B, a cable connects a second host to Drive 3, and a jumper connects Drive 3 to Drive 4. A cable connects Drive 4 to the other devices on Bus B.
