Problems encountered during installation
Unpacking
Description
Some parts appear to be missing or
damaged.
The SCSI cable shipped with the drive is not correct
Description
The SCSI cable shipped with the drive
does not plug into the SCSI host adapter
of the server.
It is unclear which SCSI ID to use
Description
It is uncertain which ID numbers are
available.
How should the SCSI bus be configured?
Description
Correct configuration of the SCSI bus
with multiple drives can be a complex
area and more help may be required.
Daisy chaining devices is not generally
recommended.
How should the SCSI bus be terminated?
Description
It is unclear if the bus is already
terminated or where an additional
terminator should be placed.
Further information
Contact your vendor if any parts need replacing.
Further information
The cable provided will connect to the majority of
systems. If a different cable is required, you will
need to purchase one.
Further information
Use HP Library & Tape Tools (see page 30) to
provide information on your current SCSI settings.
The HP StorageWorks Ultrium drive has its SCSI ID
set to 3 by default. This should be left unchanged
unless this number is already in use. Full
instructions on how to change the SCSI ID are
given on page 13.
Further information
Refer to the instructions in this guide or your
supplier for further details.
Further information
Both ends of a SCSI bus must be terminated.
However, HP StorageWorks Ultrium external drives
do not normally require terminators. When the
cable is connected to the SCSI-IN connector, the
enclosure provides active termination, providing
the drive is the last device on the SCSI bus. If it is
not, use the SCSI-OUT connector to connect to the
next device in the chain, and make sure that the
chain is terminated.
