SCSI Drive Connections
For SCSI operations, check that the length restrictions are consistent with for
the channel type being used.
Be sure to label each tape drive with its server or client address and to label the
cables. These labels provide reliable identification for any future maintenance on
the tape drives.
Direct Connection
For installations requiring SCSI direct data path configurations for each tape
drive:
1. Open the left rear door.
2. Connect the client data cable for the first tape drive to the appropriate
connector at the rear tape library frame.
Caution. Do not connect SCSI cables to the tape drives until they are configured for
operation.
