Connecting a SCSI Cable
4. Make sure that a SCSI terminator is firmly installed in the SCSI port on the left.
Removing the SCSI terminator from an unused port can hinder tape drive
performance and cause the SCSI interface to function improperly.
5. Route the SCSI cable over the hinge mount at the base of the module, securing it
with a tie wrap provided in the extrusion guide package. Continue routing the
cable into the extrusion channel at the point where the cutout in the rear bezel door
allows the cable to pass into the channel when the door is closed. This cutout
prevents the cable from being pinched when the door is closed. Route the cable
downward into the channel until you reach the channel bottom. See Figure 3-18
on page 3-32.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the second tape drive CRU in the module and for any
other modules in the modular tape subsystem (if the drive CRUs are connecting to
PMF CRUs).
7. After SCSI cables have been installed into all the tape drive CRUs in all the
modules, install the extrusion guides in the channels. The extrusion guides are
