Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the tape drive or other devices. 3 Obtain a SCSI cable with an open 68-pin, high-density connector. 4 Connect one end of the SCSI cable to one of the connectors on the rear panel of the tape drive as shown in figure 20. Either SCSI connector works equally well. Figure 20 does not show a terminator because none of the three tape drives in the illustration are at the end of the SCSI bus.

DLT-V4 Product Manual 39 Chapter 5 Installing the Tabletop SCSI Tape Drive Terminating the SCSI Tabletop Tape Drive Figure 21 Server SCSI Cable Connections SCSI host adapter SCSI cable Terminating the SCSI Tabletop Tape Drive 5 You must terminate the tape drive if it is the last physical device on the SCSI bus (at the end of the SCSI chain). If another SCSI device is the last device on the SCSI bus, confirm that it is properly terminated and do not terminate the tape drive. Note: Regardless of which device terminates the SCSI bus, it must have power applied and be powered on for proper termination to occur. To terminate the tape drive, locate the terminator in the accessories package and press it firmly into either of the two SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the tape drive. Secure the terminator by tightening the screws until snug. See figure 22 for more details. DLT-V4 Product Manual 40 Chapter 5 Installing the Tabletop SCSI Tape Drive Terminating the SCSI Tabletop Tape Drive Powering the Terminator 5 At least one device on the SCSI bus must supply terminator power (TERMPWR). The factory default for the tape drive is for TERMPWR to be enabled. Only an authorized service provider can disable the tape drive TERMPWR setting. Attach the terminator as shown in figure 22. Note: It is acceptable for more than one device on the SCSI bus to provide TERMPWR.

Note: If the SCSI cable does not fit the connector on the SCSI host adapter, you either have an incompatible SCSI host adapter or you need to purchase a cable adapter. Contact the sales representative or the SCSI host adapter manufacturer for information. 2 Ensure that the power switch on the rear panel of the tape drive is in the OFF position. Connect the power cable to the tape drive and plug the power cable in to the nearest power outlet (see figure 22). peripheral devices. 3 Connect the power cables to the host server or workstation and all 4 Power on the tape drive and any attached peripheral devices. 5 Power on the server or workstation and allow its operating system to start. Confirming the Installation 5 When you turn on power to the tape drive, it performs its power-on selftest. The LEDs on the front panel of the tape drive illuminate in a specific sequence (see Power-On Self-Test (POST) Indicator Activity on page 51 for details). DLT-V4 Product Manual 42 Chapter 6 the Tabletop USB/eSATA Tape Drive 6Installing This chapter contains step-by-step instructions for installing the tabletop USB/eSATA tape drive. Equipment Required You need no special tools to install the DLT-V4 USB/eSATA tabletop tape drive. 6 USB Requirements 6 If you are using your tape drive in a USB configuration, for optimum performance, the tape drive should be connected to a USB 2. 0 port and be the only device on the root hub.
