Install the Library
into the Rack
Connecting the
SCSI Cables
Note: Rail front brackets are threaded to
directly accept screws. Rear brackets are
not threaded and require installation of
cage nuts in the rack enclosure’s rear
vertical rails. See the documentation
provided with your rack enclosure for
detailed installation instructions.
Caution: Fully tighten the front rail
screws. Leave the rear rail screws finger
tight to prevent binding when installing
the library.

Use the following guidelines when configuring your
SCSI cables:
• Use the highest quality SCSI cables. Bus errors
caused by excessive length or poor quality
cables can significantly degrade performance
and reliability.
• Each tape drive in the library (and the library
controller) is a separate SCSI target. When
more than one device is connected to the same
bus, each separate device must be assigned a
unique SCSI ID.
