Setting up the Jukebox Connecting the SCSI Cable to the Jukebox Connecting the SCSI Cable to the Jukebox The jukebox accepts a single-ended SCSI bus. The connectors are low-density 50-pin (Centronics type). The drives are "fast" SCSI so you have a maximum of 3 meters (9.8 feet) available for the SCSI bus. The jukebox uses 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) of of this bus internally. This leaves 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) for the remainder of the bus. Your jukebox can be connected to your host computer in two ways: • as the only SCSI peripheral on a bus • as one of multiple SCSI peripherals on a bus (not recommended) 1- 8 Chapter 1
