1 If your library is taller than 14U, install it in a rack. See Using
the Rack-mount Kit to Install a Library in
a Rack on page 108 for instructions. The instructions include procedures for removing and replacing
tape drives.
2 Connect the SCSI cables to the tape drives. There are two recommended ways to cable SCSI tape
drives: one tape drive per SCSI bus or two tape drives per SCSI bus (see Figure 5
).
To connect one tape drive per SCSI bus:
a. Use a SCSI cable to connect the bottom port of the tape drive to your host.
b. Use a SCSI terminator to terminate the top port of the tape drive.
