3. Attach the other end of the host interface cable as follows:
v For a SCSI library, connect the host interface cable to the connector on the SCSI host bus adapter
or to the connector on the previous device on the SCSI bus. Attach the terminator (

in
Figure 1-12) to the remaining SCSI connector on the back panel of the library, if the library is the
last or only device on the SCSI bus. Otherwise, attach one end of a SCSI cable to the remaining
port and the other end to the next device on the SCSI bus. Make sure that the last device on the
SCSI bus is properly terminated.
Note: The Ultrium 3 tape drive is an Ultra160 or Ultra320 SCSI LVD device. Only cables and
terminators specified for Ultra160 or Ultra320 use or labeled as Multi Mode should be used.
Note:
The host bus adapter should be LVD SCSI. A single-ended (SE) SCSI host bus adapter will
work, but will severely degrade performance, and limit cable length. If there are any SE
devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will negotiate down to SE speed and
severely degrade performance.
v For a Fibre Channel library, connect the host interface cable to the host or to a switch. If an
SC-to-LC interposer is required, refer to Figure 1-14 on page 1-11.
