HP SSL1016 manual Scsi Connection

Installation and Configuration

SCSI Connection

The SCSI connection lets the host computer communicate with the autoloader.

Note: If you do not already have a compatible and available SCSI HBA installed in the host computer, install one before proceeding.

Caution: When installing cables, be careful not to damage the SCSI pins on the connectors. Damaged pins will cause the connection to fail.

To make the SCSI connection:

1.If the host computer is connected to a network, check with the system administrator before turning off power.

2.Properly power off all peripheral devices connected to the host computer.

3.Power off the host computer.

4.Install the supplied 68-pin 6 foot (1.83 meter) SCSI cable to the double-stacked SCSI connector that is on the back of the DCA and tighten the screws. You can install the SCSI cable in either port.

Note: Use an appropriate cable that matches your host connector.
