Chapter 3. Preparing the Library

Connecting the Serial Cable

Most backup software packages do not require a serial connection between the library

and the host.

• With the SSCL interface, you will need both serial and SCSI connections between

the host and the library.

• Using SCSI pass-through drivers, you will only need a SCSI connection between the

host and your library (see SCSI Cables and Terminators on page 119).

If the backup software you are using requires a serial connection, attach a serial cable

between the library and the host computer. The DB-9 end of the cable connects to the

library’s RS-232 serial port, and the other end connects to a serial port on the host.

Note: If used, the serial port on the host must be dedicated to the library;

disable all serial port processing programs running on this serial

port.

Also, if hardware handshaking (see RS-232 Handshake on page

49) is enabled on the library, it must also be enabled on the host

serial port. Consult your host documentation for information on

configuring serial ports.
