Special SCSI Requirements for Deskside Systems
The external SCSI connector on the Challenge L or Onyx deskside products does not
come as a standard preconnected feature from the factory. The external SCSI connector
must be connected and configured by a trained field installer during or after the
installation of the deskside host system.
Connection and configuration of the external SCSI port is not considered an end-user
task. Opening of the I/O panel by anyone other than a trained and qualified service
person may violate safety agency requirements and regulations.
Note: Streaming tape drives such as the DLT2000XT tape drive or DLT2500XT stacker
require sustained data throughput from the system and host SCSI bus. To guarantee SCSI
bus throughput for sustaining streaming operation of the drive, configure the
DLT2000XT tape drive or DLT2500XT stacker as the only device on an individual SCSI
bus. Performance can be adversely affected when the DLT2000XT tape drive or
DLT2500XT stacker shares the bus with other devices. Sharing the bus with
low-utilization devices such as a CD-ROM drive or a 4-mm DAT or 8-mm tape unit can
allow acceptable performance.
