Caution To avoid damaging the computer or tape drive, ensure that both are powered off while you attach the SCSI cable.
For optimum performance, we recommend that your HP Surestore DLT1 drive is installed on a dedicated SCSI bus.
1Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the computer and any connected peripherals. A
If your computer’s SCSI connector does not match the cable supplied with your drive, you will need to order the appropriate cable or adapter. See “SCSI cable” on page 2 for more details about SCSI cabling. For ordering information, refer to our web site: //www.hp.com/support/dlt1.
2Attach one end of the SCSI cable to the connector on the SCSI host adapter and secure it by tightening the screws, as shown on figure 2.
3Attach the other end of the SCSI cable to one of the connectors on the rear panel of the tape drive and secure it by tightening the screws.
Note If your HP Surestore DLT1 drive is the only SCSI device (other than the SCSI host adapter) or if it is the last device on the selected computer’s bus, it must be terminated. If your HP Surestore DLT1 drive is at the end of the SCSI cable, it is the last device on the SCSI bus.
