Table 4: Troubleshooting
The host server does
not recognize your DLT
VS 40/80 GB tape
drive. (continued)
DLT VS 40/80 GB Tape Drive Reference Guide
Symptom
The SCSI bus might be
improperly terminated.
The SCSI terminator
might not be at the end
of the SCSI bus or
more than two
terminators might be
present on the SCSI
bus.
The SCSI host adapter
might be in a defective
expansion slot.
The SCSI bus might be
too long.
Troubleshooting and Upgrading the Firmware
Problem
1. If the DLT VS 40/80 GB
2. If the DLT VS 40/80 GB
Make sure the terminators are
placed only at each end of the
SCSI bus – one at the host
adapter and one on the last
device on the bus, both
internal and external.
Move the SCSI host adapter to
a different expansion slot.
Make sure the total length of
the SCSI bus does not exceed
the ANSI SCSI standard of 40
feet (12.2 meters) for an LVD
SCSI bus with multiple devices,
82 feet (25 meters) for an LVD
SCSI bus with a single device,
or 10 feet (3.05 meters) for a
Fast SCSI-2 or Ultra SCSI-1SE
bus.
Solution
tape drive is the last or
only device on the SCSI
bus, make sure the drive is
properly terminated.
tape drive is not the last or
only device on the SCSI
bus, check all SCSI cable
connections and make
sure the last device on
each end of the SCSI bus
is terminated. The SCSI
host adapter must usually
be terminated.
