Installation (and Quick Start)
The recommended 4-pin power connector for internal drives is an AMP 1-48024-0 housing with
AMP 60617-1 pins or equivalent.

Installing the LTO Driver

If you intend to use your drive with the Microsoft native backup applet on Windows Server 2003,
Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system, install the appropriate LTO driver. See
the Resource CD. This driver is not necessary with commercial backup application
software.

Registering Your Tape Drive

After you install the internal tape drive, be sure to register it. Registering your drive ensures that you
will receive the latest information about your drive, as well as other product, service, and support
information. For your convenience, you can register your drive through our Web site at
http://register.certance.

Installing a Desktop LTO-2 Half-Height Drive

The desktop LTO-2 half-height tape drive is a compact subsystem that connects to the host computer
through a SCSI port. Installing a desktop drive involves the following steps:
1. "Setting the SCSI ID" on page 22
2. "Connecting a SCSI Cable" on page 22
"Checking the SCSI Termination" on page 23
3.
"Connecting a Power Cord" on page 23
4.
5. "Registering Your Tape Drive" on page 24

Setting the SCSI ID

Each SCSI device on the bus must have its own unique SCSI ID. The desktop tape drive is shipped
with a default SCSI ID of 6. Avoid setting drive ID to 7. If another SCSI device in the SCSI chain is
already using this ID, either use the push-button switch on the back of the drive to change the drive's
SCSI ID or assign a unique SCSI ID to the other SCSI device.
If you change the SCSI ID on the tape drive, turn off the tape drive before changing the SCSI ID. The
change takes effect when you turn on the drive.
NOTE: The SCSI controller or host adapter generally uses ID 7. In some systems, the boot drive
uses ID 0 or ID 1. Avoid setting your drive's SCSI ID to these settings.
Connecting a SCSI Cable
The desktop LTO-2 half-height drive has two 68-pin, shielded SCSI interface connectors (ANSI Alter-
native 2) on the rear panel. These connectors consist of two rows of ribbon contacts spaced 2.16
