Before you begin connecting the library to the SCSI bus:
•Read Appendix B if you are unfamiliar with connecting devices on a SCSI bus, especially issues concerning LVD configurations.
•Determine how many SCSI buses you want to connect to the library and which bus you want to connect to which device.
•Make sure you have the necessary SCSI cables and terminators. For information about SCSI cable specifications, see Appendix B. If you need to order any of these items, see Contacting Plasmon at the back of this manual.
•Make certain the host computer and any peripheral devices are powered off.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the tape drive, make sure the library is powered off when you connect the library and tape drive to the SCSI bus.
Ensure that an ESD wrist strap is worn during any cable connecting and any servicing procedures.
