To connect two tape drives per SCSI bus:
a. Connect one end of the SCSI cable to the top SCSI port of the bottom tape drive. Then connect
the other end of the cable to the bottom SCSI port of the tape drive above. The SCSI cable
connecting the two tape drives should be at least 30 cm in length.
b. Use another SCSI cable to connect the bottom tape drive of the SCSI bus to your host.
c. Use a SCSI terminator to terminate the top tape drive of the SCSI bus.
