Installing and Setting Up the SCSI Extender

Figure 1-10 illustrates how two SCSI extenders are used to connect a 6760 adapter

and an external tape drive. One extender is connected to the 6760 adapter and

another extender is connected to the tape drive. A fiber-optic cable connects the two

extenders.

Installing and Setting Up the SCSI Extender

For complete information on how to install the SCSI extender, see the Fiber-Optic

UltraSCSI Extender (DWZGA) User’s Guide, which is shipped with the SCSI extender.

When using this SCSI extender to connect a tape drive to a 6760 adapter, the default

settings on the extender nearest to the 6760 adapter must be changed. These settings

are displayed on the indicator lights and controlled from the switches on the front panel

of the fiber-optic extender shown in Figure 1-11.
