2.2.1

SCSI Requirements

Your DLT1 drive (internal and desktop) requires a wide, SCSI-3, Low-Voltage Differential
(LVD), single-ended SCSI bus. Make sure your SCSI host adapter or controller supports
these standards. If you connect your DLT1 drive to a Single-Ended (SE) SCSI bus, the
drive's performance is limited by the maximum data transfer speed of the SE bus.
2.2.2

Before You Start

Installing your DLT1 desktop Drive requires no special tools. You will need a ballpoint pen to
change the SCSI ID switch on the rear panel of the drive.
Installing your DLT1 internal drive requires only the usual tools needed to install an internal
drive in the computer you have chosen to house the DLT1 drive.
If you are installing a DLT1 Desktop Drive, refer to page 2-2 for instructions.
If you are installing a DLT1 internal drive, refer to page 2-7 for instructions.
