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 19 feet (6
meters) for a single-ended (SE)
bus, 40 feet (12 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 meters) for a Fast SCSI-2 or
Ultra SCSI-1 bus.
1. If your DLT-VS80 is the last or
only device on the SCSI bus, make
sure the drive is properly
terminated. Make sure only the last
device is terminated.
2. If your DLT-VS80 is not the last
or only device on the SCSI bus,
check all SCSI cable connections
and make sure the last device on
the SCSI bus is terminated.

Drive's power cable into a power
outlet on the same circuit as the
