Cables from
Hosts
The Dell PowerVault 136T
SDLT Library supports SCSI-3 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) attachments via
a SCSI-3 P cable with 68-pin D-connector.
The Dell PowerVault 136T
SDLT Library is configured with one SCSI adapter; the adapter is connected to
a SCSI bus and this bus must be properly terminated with the terminator shipped
with each library.
Since the Dell PowerVault
136T SDLT Library only logically supports the one-byte wide protocol, the library
SCSI ID value must be within the range of 0-7.
NOTE:
The default Library
SCSI ID is 0 (zero). This default value will appear when a new SCSI PCBA is
installed, or after a Microcode update.
Terminator power is provided
via a jumper on the Host SCSI Interface PCBA. Refer to the Host
SCSI Interface PCBA for locations of the Term Power jumpers.
CAUTION: The factory will have the jumper installed to provide term power as
the default setting.
Host to Tape Drive
Attach host cable to the
tape drive(s) according to your desired configuration. An example of SCSI cable
connections from the host system to the library and tape drives is shown in
Figure 8.
Figure 8.
SCSI cables connection from the host
Host to Library
Step 1 Route the cable from
the host to the back of the Dell PowerVault 136T SDLT Library.
Step 2 Connect the cable
straight into one of the two SCSI connectors on the Host SCSI Interface PCBA.
Step 3 If this is the last
device on the SCSI bus, install an LVD terminator on the other connector of
the SCSI PCBA.
Step 4 If attaching to the
next device in the chain, install the next cable into the other connector of
the Host SCSI Interface PCBA
