Connecting the DAT Autochanger
13
Note
The bail locks at both ends of the SCSI cable must be securely
fastened in order for the DAT Autochanger to communicate
properly with the computer.
p Plug the other end of the SCSI cable into the external SCSI connector on your
host computer. Secure the bail locks firmly.
p If the DAT Autochanger is the only SCSI device you are installing, insert an
external single-ended terminator into the second SCSI connector. If you plan to
connect another SCSI device on the same SCSI channel, see the next section.
Connecting More Than One DAT Autochanger
If installing additional DAT Autochangers on the same SCSI channel, attach each
subsequent unit to the previous unit with an interface cable. Make sure all cables are
properly secured. You can install up to seven devices to each SCSI channel, but each
DAT Autochanger may represent more than one SCSI device.
