Installing Hardware; Connecting To A Scsi Bus - ADIC Scalar 24 Installation And Operation Manual

Installing Hardware

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the standard Scalar 24 hardware.
Standard hardware installation includes:
•

Connecting to a SCSI bus

• Connecting the power cord
• Inserting tape cartridges in magazines
For instructions on installing optional hardware, see
Connecting to a SCSI Bus
If your host computer system does not have native SCSI capability and the host adapter you are
using is not installed, please install it. Refer to the manual that came with your host adapter for
specific directions. When the host adapter card is installed, return to this point in the manual.
Check to ensure that the interface cable you are using has the appropriate connectors on each end.
The Scalar 24 uses a 68-pin LVD SCSI connector on the rear panel.
• If your host computer's SCSI connector is different from the one on the Scalar 24, you will
need to obtain an adapter or a different cable. Consult your dealer or ATAC if you need
help.
• The interface cable must be shielded–ADIC can supply you with the correct type.
Follow the procedure below to connect the SCSI cable and terminator:
Step 1 Connect the SCSI cable to either of the SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the Scalar
24.

Step 2 Connect the free end of the SCSI cable to the connector on the host computer's SCSI
adapter.
