Terminating The Tape Drive - HP StorageWorks DLT VS 40 Reference Manual

Terminating the Tape Drive

If the DLT VS 40/80 GB tape drive is the only SCSI device – other than the SCSI
host adapter – on the selected server, it must be terminated. Likewise, if the DLT
VS 40/80 GB tape drive is the last device on the selected server SCSI bus, it must
be terminated. If the DLT VS 40/80 GB tape drive is at the end of the SCSI cable,
it is the last device on the SCSI bus.
To terminate the DLT VS 40/80 GB tape drive, locate the terminator in the
accessories package and press it firmly into either of the two SCSI connectors on
the rear panel of the drive. Secure the terminator by tightening the screws until
snug.
