Do not connect more than two drives per SCSI controller.
1.
If the first drive has a terminator on the SCSI connector
2
, remove it.
2.
Connect the tape drives together by placing a SCSI cable between the SCSI
connector
2
of the first drive to the SSI connector
3
of the second drive.
3.
Place the terminator (not shown) on the SCSI connector
