Tandberg Data
After you change the SCSI ID, turn the drive off and on again
to activate the new SCSI ID. Then restart the host server or
rescan the SCSI bus so the server can recognize the drive at the
new SCSI ID.

When to Use Termination

If your DLT VS160 Tabletop Drive is the only SCSI device on
the selected server or workstation other than the SCSI host
adapter, or it is the last physical device on the SCSI bus (at the
end of the SCSI cable), it must be terminated. If another SCSI
device is the last device on the SCSI bus, confirm that it is
properly terminated and do not terminate your DLT VS160
drive. Regardless of which device is used to terminate the SCSI
bus, it must have power applied and be turned on for proper
termination to occur.
To terminate your DLT VS160 Tabletop Drive, locate the
terminator in the accessories package and press it firmly into
either of the two SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the drive.
Secure the terminator by tightening the screws until snug. See
Figure 2-4 for an example.
2.3.5

Terminator Power

At least one device on the SCSI bus must supply terminator
power (TERMPWR). The factory default for the DLT VS160
Tabletop Drive is TERMPWR enabled, which is the
recommended setting. It is acceptable for more than one device
on the SCSI bus to provide TERMPWR. Only an authorized
service provider can disable the DLT VS160 Tabletop Drive
TERMPWR setting.
2.3.6

Connecting the Cables

This is the final installation stage, which requires that you
attach the SCSI and power cables to your DLT VS160 Tabletop
Drive.
Note: If the selected server or workstation does not already
have an installed SCSI host adapter, install one now. For more
information on SCSI host adapter requirements, see page 2-1.
To connect the SCSI and power cables to your DLT VS160
Tabletop Drive, follow these steps:
1. Shut down the operating system and turn off the selected
server or workstation. Turn off all attached accessory
