[. . . ] Check your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive to make sure it is working properly. 2. 4. 2 Unpacking your Drive Before you begin, clear a desk or table so that you can unpack your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive. Note: If the room in which you are working differs from the temperature in which your DLTVS80 Internal Drive was shipped or stored by 15° C (30° F) or more, let the drive acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12 hours before opening the shipping carton. 2. 4. 2. 1 Unpacking your Drive Before you do anything else, unpack and inspect your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive for shipping damage. To do a thorough job, follow these steps: 1. If you notice any damage, report it to the shipping company immediately. Open the shipping box and remove the SCSI cable and any other accessories. With the drive still in the shipping box, reach under and around the drive, carefully lift it out of the shipping box, and place it on the work surface, top facing up. Carefully remove the drive from the protective bag. Note: Save the packing materials in case you need to move or ship your drive in the future. You must ship your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive in the original or equivalent packing materials to preserve your warranty. 2. 4. 3 Configuration Configuring your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive is fast and easy. You only need to select a unique SCSI ID and decide if your drive needs to be terminated. The following sections explain how to configure your drive. 2. 4. 3. 1 Setting the SCSI ID Regardless of the number of SCSI devices attached to the server or workstation that is to be the host for your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive, each device on the selected SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. Check the SCSI IDs on all other devices attached to the selected SCSI bus, including the SCSI host adapter itself, on the selected server or workstation and select an unused SCSI ID for your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive. If the factory default SCSI ID is not being used, you do not need to change the drive's SCSI ID. 2-9 68-pin high-density SCSI Connector Power Connector SCSI ID Jumpers Note: If your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive is attached to a narrow SCSI bus, only IDs 0 through 7 are valid. Locate the SCSI ID jumpers on the rear panel of the drive as shown in Figure 2-5. Figure 2-5: SCSI ID Jumper Block Location To set the SCSI ID on your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive, use the supplied jumpers to select the desired SCSI ID as shown in the following table: SCSI ID Jumper Block SCSI ID Jumper Block Table 1: Setting the SCSI ID Jumper Block * Factory default SCSI ID 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 0 1 2 3 4 5* 6 7 2. 4. 3. 2 When to Use Termination If your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive is the only SCSI device ­ other than the SCSI host adapter ­ on the selected server or workstation's SCSI bus, it must be terminated. Likewise, if your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive is the last SCSI device on the selected server or workstation's SCSI bus, it must be terminated. 2-10 To terminate your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive, insert an active LVD or multimode LVD/SE terminator into the connector on one end of the supplied SCSI ribbon cable as shown in Figure 2-6. You can use a cable-end terminator as shown in Figure 2-6 or an inline terminator, whichever is most convenient. Continue with the rest of the installation as usual. Terminator SCSI Ribbon Cable Figure 2-6: Installing the Terminator 2-11 Note: If the SCSI cable that came with your SCSI host adapter already has a terminator built into it, do not use another terminator. An example of such a cable is shown in Figure 2-7.

To install your DLT-VS80 Internal Drive, follow these steps: 1. Shut down the operating system and turn off the selected server or workstation. Turn off all attached accessory devices, such as printers and other SCSI devices. [. . . ] Insert the Firmware Upgrade Tape into the drive. The drive then begins the process of reading the image file from the cartridge. All LEDs flash or are steadily illuminated during the various phases of the upgrade process, which typically takes about five minutes. If 4-2 the firmware upgrade process completes successfully, the drive automatically ejects the Firmware Upgrade Tape. [. . . ]
