Mounting a Tabletop Tape Drive

Wide/Narrow Configuration
All SLR external tabletop tape drives can be connected either to a
16 bit Wide SCSI or an 8-bit Narrow SCSI host adapter. SLR2-5
is provided with an external cable with a narrow connector. SLR7-
140 tape drives are supplied with a WIDE external connector. If
you plan to use SLR2-5 with a WIDE SCSI host adapter you will
need a Narrow SCSI host adapter Narrow to WIDE converter for
the external cable supplied with your SLR2-5 tape storage solution.
If you plan to use SLR7-140 with a narrow SCSI host adapter you
will need a Wide ®Narrow converter. More detailed information
regarding these converters and connecting 8 bit narrow SCSI
peripherals to 16 bit wide SCSI host adapter and 16 bit WIDE SCSI
peripherals to 8 bit narrow host adapters as well as purchasing
these converters, can be found at the following website.
