Useable Cartridges; Scsi Termination - Sony SDX-550V User Manual

Useable Cartridges

The SDX-550V can be used with data cartridges marked with the AIT-E
Turbo, AIT-1 Turbo, AIT-2 Turbo, AIT-1 or AIT-2 logo.
Notes
• Be sure to use only the cartridges designed specifically for AIT.
• Do not use anything but AIT cartridges with this system, as doing so can
damage the AIT drive. Although commercially available 8 mm
videotapes resemble AIT cartridges in appearance, they have entirely
different specifications and cannot be used.

SCSI Termination

The SDX-550V conforms to the Microsoft PC97 standard, which requires
the internal (naked) drive to be terminated with an external terminator.
Microsoft PC97 SCSI requirements
SCSI peripherals must not terminate the bus. Both internal and external
cable ends are instead terminated by plug-in connectors.
