2-14 Quantum DLT 7000 Tape Drive
2.3.2 Installing the Tabletop Drive
Installing the tape drive consists of connecting SCSI bus and power cables.
Figure 2-6 shows the location of the two SCSI bus connectors and power
connector on the back of the tabletop drive.
SCSI Cables
The SCSI bus cable leading from the host adapter can be connected to either of
the connectors. If the tape unit is the last device on the bus, then a terminator
should be installed on the open connector. If the bus continues from the tape
drive to another SCSI device, then install a SCSI bus cable between the open
connector and the next device on the bus.
Carefully align connectors to avoid bending or damaging the connector pins.
1. Make sure the power switch is in the off (0) position.
2. Carefully align and connect one end of the SCSI cable to a SCSI connector
on the back of the drive. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the
SCSI connector on your system, or for daisy-chained configurations, to
another SCSI device.
3. Snap the wire cable clamps into place to secure the cables.
4. Be sure to terminate the SCSI bus. If the tabletop drive is the last or only
device on the bus, terminate the bus by connecting the SCSI terminator to
the remaining SCSI connector on the back of the drive. Depending on the
terminator supplied (single-ended terminator = 50 LD Amphenol # 16706,
differential terminator = 50 LD Amphenol #11541), snap the wire cable
clamps into place or tighten the screws to secure the terminator.
If the tabletop drive is not the last or only device on the bus, install a
terminator on the last device on the SCSI bus.
AC Power Cable
An ac power cord is supplied with each tabletop tape unit. Carefully inspect the
power cord and ensure that the cord is the appropriate cord for your country or
region based on the criteria below.
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify or use an external 100 - 115 VAC power
cord for 220 - 240 VAC input power. Modifying the power cord in
any way can cause personal injury and severe equipment damage.
