Attaching the 50-Pin to 68-Pin Adapter (DLT 40i drives only)
The DLT 40i drive has a 50-pin narrow SCSI connector. If your computer
uses wide SCSI, you will need a cable or adapter that enables you to
connect a narrow SCSI device (50 pins) into the wide SCSI bus (68 pins).
HP provides a wide to narrow SCSI adapter as standard with all internal
tape drives. Plug the adapter into the 68-pin SCSI connector on the
computer and then connect a SCSI cable from the connector to the tape
drive.
Plug into the computer's
SCSI connector
• If you are using a new cable, attach the end farthest from the terminator
block to the host adapter and attach one of the connectors to the tape
drive, as shown in figure 1.6.
• If you are using an existing internal cable, simply attach the drive to a
spare connector on the computer's SCSI ribbon cable. (There may be
other SCSI devices already connected to the cable, though this is not
recommended.)
