To attach the SCSI and power cables to the tape drive:

1.

Locate

the

SCSI

cable

on

your

computer

(a

68-pin (wide)

ribbon

cable

with

one

 

end

connected

to

the

SCSI

adapter)

and

 

find

the

 

next

available

 

connector

that

is

 

farthest

from

the

adapter.

Use

 

all

empty

bus

connectors

beginning

with

the

one

 

farthest

from

the

adapter to

ensure

better

signal

quality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

The

SCSI

adapter

might

be

 

part

of

 

the

computer

system

 

board

or

might

be

 

an

adapter

installed

in

an

expansion

 

slot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

Attach

the

SCSI

cable

from

your

computer

to

the

tape

drive

 

68-pin

SCSI

 

 

 

 

connector

.1/.

The

SCSI

cable

 

connector

 

at

the

end

of

the

SCSI

cable

will

 

attach to the drive only one

 

way.

Do

not

force

the

cable

 

onto

the

drive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attention:

Do

not

force

the

power

cable

 

into

the

tape

drive

power

connector. If

 

the

power

cable

is

upside

down

and

you

 

force

the

 

connection,

you

might

damage

 

 

the

drive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

Connect

the

power

cable

connector

to

the

four-pin

 

connector

 

 

.2/

on

the

tape

 

drive

as

shown

in

the

illustration.

If

all

the

power

cables

 

are

in

use,

purchase a

 

dc Y-splitter cable, which is

 

available

 

at

most

electronics

 

stores,

and

split a

 

connection

to

make

a

connection

available

 

for the

tape

drive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6. Completing the installation

Check your work before closing the computer.

1.

Be

sure

that

the

power

and SCSI

connectors

are

securely

attached.

Be

sure

that

 

the

cables

 

are

neatly

routed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

Replace

the

 

computer

cover

and

secure

it

in

 

place.

Reconnect

the

power

 

cords

 

 

and

cables.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step

7.

Turning

on

the

device

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turn

on

 

all

attached

devices;

then

turn

on

your

 

computer.

The tape

drive

performs

a

power-on

 

self-test

(POST)

within

15

seconds

and

then

performs

a

drive

reset.

 

Step

8.

Updating

the

configuration

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For

most

computers,

the configuration-setup utility

 

program

automatically

recognizes

 

 

the

new

tape

drive.

However,

you

might

have

to provide

information

about

your

 

system

 

changes

after

you

restart

your

 

computer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ensure

that

the

 

appropriate

advanced

SCSI

 

programming

 

interface

 

(ASPI)

device

 

 

 

drivers

 

are

installed

to

 

support the

tape drive.

Device

drivers

are usually

provided

with

 

the

SCSI

adapter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If

your

computer

 

does

not

recognize

the

tape

drive

after

startup

or

you

receive

startup

errors,

 

run the configuration-setup

utility

program

as

described

in

the

documentation

 

that

 

comes

with

your

computer.
