CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION

b.Check the connector to ensure that no pins are bent or pushed in before connecting it to the tape drive.

c.Connect a SCSI cable from the host computer system to the back of the tape drive.

d.Use the two thumb screws on the cable to fully seat the connector.

4.Install an LVD or LVD/SE multimode terminator at the physical end of the SCSI bus. If the cable provided with your adapter has a built-in terminator, do not add another terminator to the bus.

If the tape drive is the last device on the bus, install a terminator on the unused SCSI connector, as shown in Figure 2-7.

If there are additional devices on the SCSI bus, ensure that only the device at the physical end of the bus is terminated.

Connect the power cable to the back of the tape drive. Turn on the tape drive’s power switch. During the tape drive’s power-on self-test (POST), the LEDs scroll sequentially right to left, then left to right in amber and green. LED 4 illuminates in red and green. When POST is complete, LED 4 illuminates in green. (See Table 3-1, “LED states,” on page 20 for a description of the LED states.)
