• Turning off the power to the drive while it is writing to tape may cause
the tape to become unreadable. All previously negotiated parameters will
be lost, whenever power to the drive is cycled.
• Upon execution of the hardware reset hole with the AITi260, the driver
will be reset and there is a risk of lost and unreadable data. Thus, please
do not use the hole other than for repair purposes. (See page 14)
Transportation
• Keep the original packing materials to facilitate transportation of the
drive.
• Always remove the tape before moving the drive. After removing the
drive from the computer, repack the drive into its original packing.

SCSI Termination

The AITi260, AITi130, and AITi90 conform to the Microsoft PC97
standard which requires the internal (naked) drive to be terminated with an
internal 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.
Host Computer Wide SCSI
The AITi260 supports Ultra 160 SCSI. When using an Ultra 160 SCSI
connection, make sure that you are using appropriate cables and
terminators.
