As shown in figure 6 and figure 7, the rear panels of the internal LTO-3
Half-Height Tape Drives have connectors for:
• Either a 68-pin parallel SCSI or a 7-pin 1x SATA style interface cable
• A serial library interface cable
• The internal drive DC power cable
Connect the interface and DC power cables to the internal drive as
follows:
1 Verify that the system is shut down and the AC power cord is
disconnected from the facility AC power receptacle.
2 Depending on the interface configuration of your internal drive:
a For the parallel SCSI internal drive:
• Attach the internal parallel SCSI interface cable to the 68-pin
parallel SCSI connector on the back of the drive.
Caution: The LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive with the
parallel SCSI interface is a low voltage
differential (LVD) SCSI device. Install it only
in LVD environments. Plugging an LVD drive
into a high voltage differential (HVD) bus
makes the entire bus nonfunctional and may
permanently damage the drive or other SCSI
devices on the bus.
