Connecting The Tape Drive - Tandberg Data SDLT320 Quick Start Manual

Connecting the Tape Drive

To connect the tape drive:
a.
Before connecting your tape drive, make sure the tape drive and host
computer are powered off.
b.
If you are daisy-chaining the drive, use the lower SCSI connector to
connect to the host computer, and the upper to connect to additional
devices.
If you plan to connect several devices to the SCSI bus, first connect
only the Super DLTtape drive to the host computer. This will con-
firm that the drive is communicating properly with the host before
adding additional devices.
c.
Connect your tape drive to the host computer using the SCSI cable.
Check connections and ensure that they are attached correctly and
firmly seated.
See "Confirming the Installation" on page
! You must terminate the SCSI bus by connecting a terminator to the last
device in the chain, as discussed on page 2.
