I think you should properly configure your cabling for duplex SCSI connection (i,e, separate bus for tape):

'Embedded duplex SCSI cabling', page 59.

You will need the option below if your box does not have duplex backplane by default:

SCSI Configuration Kit
NOTE: Kit Includes duplex drive backplane terminator and 2 long SCSI cables.
