2.3.2Installing the Tabletop Drive

Installing the tape drive consists of connecting SCSI bus and power cables.

Figure 2-6 shows the location of the two SCSI bus connectors and power connector on the back of the tabletop drive.

SCSI Cables

The SCSI bus cable leading from the host adapter can be connected to either of the connectors. If the tape unit is the last device on the bus, then a terminator should be installed on the open connector. If the bus continues from the tape drive to another SCSI device, then install a SCSI bus cable between the open connector and the next device on the bus.

Carefully align connectors to avoid bending or damaging the connector pins.

1.Make sure the power switch is in the off (0) position.

2.Carefully align and connect one end of the SCSI cable to a SCSI connector on the back of the drive. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI connector on your system, or for daisy-chained configurations, to another SCSI device.

3.Snap the wire cable clamps into place to secure the cables.

4.Be sure to terminate the SCSI bus. If the tabletop drive is the last or only device on the bus, terminate the bus by connecting the SCSI terminator to the remaining SCSI connector on the back of the drive. Depending on the terminator supplied (single-ended terminator = 50 LD Amphenol # 16706, differential terminator = 50 LD Amphenol #11541), snap the wire cable clamps into place or tighten the screws to secure the terminator.

If the tabletop drive is not the last or only device on the bus, install a terminator on the last device on the SCSI bus.

AC Power Cable

An ac power cord is supplied with each tabletop tape unit. Carefully inspect the power cord and ensure that the cord is the appropriate cord for your country or region based on the criteria below.

WARNING

Do not attempt to modify or use an external 100 - 115 VAC power cord for 220 - 240 VAC input power. Modifying the power cord in any way can cause personal injury and severe equipment damage.
