| To set the SCSI interface mode switch: |
|
|
|
| 1. Determine how to connect the library according to: | |
|
|
| • Number of drives in the library and drive type | |
|
|
| • Other peripherals (if any) on your system | |
|
|
| • Type of SCSI card (differential or | |

NOTE |
| For best library performance, connect only one library on a SCSI bus. | ||
