-----Message d'origine----- De : Lucky Leavell [mailto:susemisc@UniXpress.com] Envoye : dimanche 4 avril 2004 04:10 A : Lucky Leavell Objet : [SLE] Adding SCSI Tape Drive
OS: SuSE 9.0 SCSI HBA: ADaptec 39160 SCSI HD: Single 36GB attached to Channel A with SCSI ID 0 Tape Drive: Tandberg SLR4 with SCSI ID 2 (not yet installed)
This system was installed with the sole SCSI HD attached to the 39160 Channel A internal 68-pin connector but now I want to move the tape drive from another system to this one. Sccording to the 39160 Installation Guide, which has the following caution:
Do not connect SCSI devices to more than two of the three SCSI Channel A connectors at the same time
which would seem to imply I could simply connect a 50-pin cable to the 50-pin internal Channel A connector for the tape drive without violating the caution. Is this correct?
You have 3 connectors on the board, 2 internal and 1 external. This means that you are not allowed to use the 3 connectors at the same time. But you can connect several devices on each . Michel
Will adding the tape drive to an installed system mess anything up? If so, how should I go about this?
Thank you, Lucky Leavell
