Installation (and Quick Start)

The internal LTO-2 half-height drive has an Ultra2 SCSI interface, terminated by an LVD SCSI connec-

tor. Use the following procedure to connect a SCSI cable to this connector.

Turn off all power to the drive and the computer.

Attach the SCSI interface cable to the 68-pin SCSI interface connector on the back of the drive

(see Figure 5 below).

CAUTION: Install an LVD drive only in an LVD environment. Plugging an LVD drive into an HVD

bus makes the entire bus non-functional and may permanently damage the drive or other SCSI

devices on the bus.

By default, the internal LTO-2 half-height drive does not provide SCSI termination. If you use this

default setting, you must place a SCSI bus terminator or a SCSI device with termination enabled at

the end of the SCSI chain. Two examples of SCSI termination are shown in Figure 6 below.

The internal LTO-2 half-height drive provides terminator power if a jumper is placed on the termina-

tion power jumper pins (see "Terminator Power" on page 18).
