This section provides requirements and specifications for the SCSI interface, 

including information about the following:



SCSI cable and terminator requirements



SCSI communications



Elements and element addresses

SCSI cables and terminators are included with the library. The wide LVD SCSI 

cable conforms to SCSI-3 specifications. Check the tape drive documentation 

for information about SCSI cable requirements. 
If you want to use your own SCSI cable(s), follow these guidelines:

Use high-density, wide (68-pin) Ultra 160 SCSI cables that conform to SCSI-3 

specifications. To comply with the regulations and standards listed in 

, all SCSI cables used with the library must be properly shielded.  

One wide Ultra 3 Active SCSI terminator is provided with the library. If you 

want to use your own terminator, use a high-quality Ultra 3-rated Active SCSI 

terminator. An appropriate terminator is stamped with Ultra 3 or LVD 160 and 

“Active Negation.” 

This section provides information about how the library communicates on the 

SCSI bus via the tape drives. As described in this section, a SCSI application 

program communicates with the library through the tape drive(s) via ADI to 

perform the following actions:



Move cartridges between the storage locations and a tape drive



Update and access information stored in the cartridge inventory



Set various operating parameters



Inquire about the status of a specific operation

Although the tape drive’s wide LVD SCSI interface is compatible with single-ended 

SCSI, Tandberg Data Corporation does not support the use of the tape drives in this 

library on a single-ended bus or on a bus with single-ended devices attached.
All wide SCSI configurations (single-ended, LVD, and HVD) use the same 68-pin 

connector. Attaching the tape drive’s directly to an HVD SCSI bus may cause the 

SCSI bus to hang.

! ! ! ! 

Both LTO-2 and LTO-3 SCSI tape drives require an Ultra 3 or 

LVD 160 terminator to function properly on the SCSI bus. An 

inadequate terminator will result in various SCSI bus issues, 

including bus hangs and Read/Write failures.
