Chapter 3: DLT VS80 Installation
Terminating Your Internal Tape Drive
You must terminate the tape drive if:
•It is the only SCSI device—other than the SCSI host bus adapter—on the selected server or workstation’s SCSI bus.
•It is the last SCSI device on the selected server or workstation’s SCSI bus.
To terminate the tape drive, insert an active low-voltage differential (LVD) or multimode LVD/SE terminator into the connector on one end of the SCSI ribbon cable as shown in Figure 3-7. You can use a cable-end terminator as shown in Figure 3-7or an inline terminator, whichever is most convenient. Continue with the rest of the installation as usual.
