LTO-3—terminate if it is the last device on the SCSI bus. Every
connector on an LTO-3 tape drive must either be connected to a host,
connected to the next tape drive, or terminated. A maximum of two
LTO-3 SCSI tape drives can be daisy-chained on a single SCSI bus.
LTO-4—terminate the second connector on every tape drive.
Do not daisy-chain LTO-4 tape drives.
3.Connect the other end of the cable to the host computer.
Fibre Channel Follow these steps to connect FC tape drives.
1. Remove the protective plugs from the optical connector.
2.Insert one end of the cable into the tape drive (either port).
3.Connect the other end of the cable into the HBA or switch.

dual-port tape drives.
Power Connect the power cord to the library and to an outlet.
Ethernet If you want to use the Ethernet option (remote management or
