Troubleshooting
You should...
Configure system to recognize
the SDLT 600 tape drive
system's ID.
Change the interface ID and
reconfigure the system. The new
ID becomes effective at the next
power on or interface bus reset.
Check interface adapter
documentation.
Ensure interface cable is fully
seated at each connector end.
Ensure correct, secure
termination of bus.
If the SDLT 600 tape drive
system is last or only device on
bus (except for adapter), be
certain the terminator is
installed on the SDLT 600 tape
drive system.
If the SDLT 600 tape drive
system is not the last or only
device on the bus, check the
cable connections and ensure
that the bus is properly
terminated at each end.
Ensure that a terminator is
installed at each end of the bus.
One terminator is usually
installed at the host end of the
bus.
Limit bus length to ANSI
interface standard for the
interface being used.
