Installation and Configuration

SCSI Connection

The SCSI connection lets the host computer communicate with the autoloader.

Note:

If you do not already have a compatible and available SCSI HBA installed in the

host computer, install one before proceeding.

Caution:

When installing cables, be careful not to damage the SCSI pins on

the connectors. Damaged pins will cause the connection to fail.

To make the SCSI connection:

1. If the host computer is connected to a network, check with the system

administrator before turning off power.

2. Properly power off all peripheral devices connected to the host computer.

3. Power off the host computer.

4. Install the supplied 68-pin 6 foot (1.83 meter) SCSI cable to the

double-stacked SCSI connector that is on the back of the DCA and tighten the
screws. You can install the SCSI cable in either port.

Note:

Use an appropriate cable that matches your host connector.
