Connect the Cables

SCSI Follow these steps to connect SCSI tape drives. Important! Do not mix full-height and half-height tape drives in the library. Do not daisy-chain LTO-4 SCSI tape drives.

1.Connect SCSI cables to the tape drives, as shown.

2.Terminate as follows:

ƒLTO-3—terminate if it is the last device on the SCSI bus. Every connector on an LTO-3 tape drive must either be connected to a host, connected to the next tape drive, or terminated. A maximum of two LTO-3 SCSI tape drives can be daisy-chained on a single SCSI bus.

ƒLTO-4—terminate the second connector on every tape drive. Do not daisy-chain LTO-4 tape drives.

3.Connect the other end of the cable to the host computer.

Follow these steps to connect FC tape drives.

1.Remove the protective plugs from the optical connector.

2.Insert one end of the cable into the tape drive (either port).

3.Connect the other end of the cable into the HBA or switch.

Note: See the Spectra T50e Library User Guide for information about dual-port tape drives.

Power Connect the power cord to the library and to an outlet.

Note: If you purchased an optional redundant power supply, refer to the Spectra T50e Power Supply Installation Instructions for information about installing it in the library.
