SCSI Interface Mode Switch (Example)
To set the SCSI interface mode switch:
1. Determine how to connect the library according to:
•
Number of drives in the library and drive type
•
Other peripherals (if any) on your system
•
Type of SCSI card (differential or single-ended)
NOTE
For best library performance, connect only one library on a SCSI bus.
2. Set the SCSI interface mode switch.
