DDS-4/DAT 72 User's Guide 25 Chapter 2 Installing Internal Tape Drives Connecting a SCSI Cable The tape drive automatically detects whether the SCSI bus is LVD or single ended. Be sure the SCSI bus is terminated properly. Note: We strongly recommend that you attach the tape drive to SCSI controllers that support the SCSI Ultra2 LVD interface only. Attaching the tape drive to a non-LVD SCSI controller or an 8bit Narrow SCSI controller will degrade the performance of your tape drive and backup operations. Performance will also be degraded if you attach non-LVD SCSI devices on the same bus cable as your LVD connection. Do not connect the tape drive to a disk RAID controller (disk RAID controllers are not supported). If you install an adapter, we recommend you purchase a SCSI LVD controller kit that includes the SCSI cable and terminator. Connecting to a Wide SCSI Connector 2 If your computer has a 68-pin wide SCSI connector: 1 Attach the interface cable from the SCSI host adapter to the 68-pin SCSI interface connector on the back of the internal tape drive. Figure 8 SCSI Interface Connector on the Internal Tape Drive Connecting to a Narrow SCSI Connector 2 The internal tape drives have an Ultra Wide SCSI interface. Obtaining a 50-to-68 pin adapter lets you connect the 68 pins on the internal tape drive to the 50 pins on the computer's narrow SCSI bus. 1 Connect the adapter to your computer's 50-pin SCSI connector. 26 DDS-4/DAT 72 User's Guide Chapter 2 Installing Internal Tape Drives Checking SCSI Termination 2 Connect the SCSI cable with the adapter to the internal tape drive's 68-pin SCSI connector. Note: Be sure the upper 8 data bytes of the 68-pin cable are properly terminated. Checking SCSI Termination 2 The internal tape drives do not provide SCSI termination. For this reason, they should not be the last device on a SCSI chain. Figure 9 shows two examples of terminating the internal tape drives. If the drive is the only SCSI device on the bus: 1 Attach it to the next-to-last connector on the SCSI chain. 2 Attach a multi-mode terminator to the last connector in the chain. This terminator typically is a small, rectangular plastic block that is marked SCSI Terminator and attaches to the cable.

Figure 10 shows the location of the power connector on the internal tape drive. The recommended 4-pin power connector for the internal drives is an AMP 1-48024-0 housing, with AMP 60617-1 pins or equivalent. Figure 10 Power Connector on the Internal Tape Drive Completing Your Installation To complete and test your internal tape drive installation: 1 Use the screws you removed earlier to secure the drive in place. 3 Reconnect the power cord to the computer's power connector. 2 4 Turn on the computer. If the internal tape drive is configured to perform its Power-On Self-Test (see Power-On Self-Test on page 18), it performs the test for about five seconds. When the drive passes the test, all three front-panel LEDs should be OFF. 28 DDS-4/DAT 72 User's Guide Chapter 2 Installing Internal Tape Drives Registering Your Tape Drive 5 Install your backup software program. The documentation that came with your software should describe this procedure. [. . . ] The tape should eject within 40 seconds. 3 Contact Technical Support for more information. 60 DDS-4/DAT 72 User's Guide ALoading Revised Firmware Appendix A Your DDS-4 or DAT 72 tape drive includes permanently installed, electrically upgradeable flash memory. This memory allows qualified OEMs to revise DAT 72 and DDS-4 SCSI firmware quickly and easily. It also prolongs the life of the tape drive by allowing the drive to inherit leading technologies as soon as those technologies become available. [. . . ]
