Connecting the Power Cable

1 Make sure that the power switch on the rear of the AIT autoloader is in the off position (a is depressed).

2 Connect one end of the power cable to the power supply connector and the other end to the power outlet.

Connecting to the Host Computer

Connect the AIT autoloader and the host computer with a SCSI cable. This section explains general connection steps. To connect, use an Wide Ultra2 SCSI LVD cable commonly sold in stores. However, when using a model equipped with an AIT-3 or AIT-4 drive, use an Ultra 160 SCSI LVD cable. The autoloader side uses the 68-pin half pitch connector.

When connecting other SCSI devices along with the AIT autoloader, see “Connecting SCSI Peripheral Devices” in Chapter 2 “Installation” in the “Operating Instructions” (PDF).

Caution

•Do not connect the AIT autoloader to the HVD (High Voltage Differential) SCSI bus. If connected, the autoloader or other devices on the SCSI bus may be damaged.

•When connecting the Wide SCSI cable, turn off all of the connecting devices, including the AIT autoloader and the host computer.

•When connecting the AIT autoloader as the last device on the SCSI bus, be sure to attach the provided terminator.

•In LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI, make the total length of the SCSI cable (internal and external), which connects the host computer and the device at the end of the SCSI bus, shorter than 12 m (39.4 ft.). (The length of the AIT autoloader internal cable is 0.75 m (29.5 in.).)

•SCSI cables cannot be branched.

Notes

•For information about the SCSI bus, see “SCSI Specifications” in the “Appendix” in the “Operating Instructions” (PDF).

•Prepare the necessary SCSI cables. For information about SCSI cable specifications, see “SCSI Cable and Terminator Specifications” in the “Appendix” in the “Operating Instructions” (PDF).

1 Confirm that the power to the host computer and AIT autoloader are off.

2 Connect the SCSI cable and terminator as shown in the figure below.

1 Use a commercial SCSI cable to connect the AIT autoloader to the host computer.

2 Connect the provided terminator to connector.
