Connecting the Jukebox with Other SCSI Peripherals
Connecting the Jukebox with Other SCSI
Peripherals
In most circumstances, the recommended configuration for this jukebox is as the
only device on a SCSI bus. However, your use of the jukebox may be such that
another device could be connected to the bus without a loss of performance.
There are many issues that must be considered when connecting another devices on
the same bus with this jukebox such as the following:
•
How the jukebox is used; archiving, backup, near-line storage. What
performance must be maintained
•
How the additional peripheral will be used. How much demand will it place on
the bus
•
Bus length available.
If you would like a review of SCSI and a discussion of the issues involved with
connecting devices on a bus, refer to Appendix B of this guide.
