TERMINATOR
To Host
All SCSI cables used with the PowerLoader should meet the following
requirements:
•
Attach the terminator to last unused SCSI connector of the last
device in the chain
4)
If the PowerLoader is connected to 2 hosts at the same time:
•
In the two-host configuration, a separate SCSI bus runs from each
host to a different drive. As shown in the following illustration, each
incoming SCSI bus attaches to the left connector of each pair. Place a
terminator at the right connector of each pair.

Connect to the Power Source
The AC power cable is a standard grounding AC cable, which attaches to an
IEC-compatible connector on the rear panel. Connect the cable to the
connector on the module, and connect the other end to a reliably grounded
AC outlet or rack power outlet.
To maintain product safety compliance, use a power cord with a suitable
electrical rating, UL Listed (USA), CSA Certified (Canada), or Harmonized
marked <Har> or nationally certified, (Europe).
Visually inspect the shipping containers and notify your carrier immediately of any
damage. Verify the contents against the packing list. If parts are missing or the
equipment is damaged, notify your representative. Always save the containers and
packing materials for any future reshipment.
To set up the PowerLoader, do the following:
•
Follow the directions in the shipping container to unpack the PowerLoader.
•
Save the packing materials in case you need to return the unit for repairs.
•
You do not have to assemble anything.
Place the PowerLoader on a stable horizontal surface with at least a 2-inch clearance
behind the chassis to allow sufficient cooling air to flow freely from the fan, or mount
your unit in an equipment rack using the Rack Mount Installation section found in the
User and Installation Manual or Rack Mount Quick Install card.
Unparking & Parking the Shuttle
•
Installing the PowerLoader
•
Shielded or double-shielded, as required to meet EMI
specifications
•
Impedance match with cable terminators of 132 ohms
•
Characteristic impedance between 90 and 132 ohms (required)
•
34-pair twisted-pair
•
Each end of twisted pair ground must be connected to chassis
ground
•
When calculating the overall length of the bus, be sure to include
the internal cabling of the module, which is 27 inches (69 cm.) for
all models

a. Drives and the controller (library) are daisy-chained together
b. The host system has a compatible SCSI controller and the
appropriate driver software installed. (If you have questions
about installation for specific host systems, call your Technical
Support representative.)
c. The cables you are using meet the required specifications for type
and length
d. The terminator type matches your system.
2)
If the PowerLoader is the only SCSI device you are connecting to the
host, do the following:
a. Connect the cable from the host to one of the SCSI connectors
b. Attach the terminator to the outgoing SCSI connector
3)
If the PowerLoader is one of several units you are connecting to the host,
connect them in a daisy-chain by doing the following:
•
Connect the cable from the host, to one of the SCSI connectors of the
first SCSI device
•
Connect another cable from an unused connector of the first device to
an unused connector of the second SCSI device, and so on. You can
connect them in any order
