CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION
b. Check the connector to ensure that no pins are bent or pushed in before
connecting it to the tape drive.
c. Connect a SCSI cable from the host computer system to the back of the
tape drive.
d. Use the two thumb screws on the cable to fully seat the connector.
4. Install an LVD or LVD/SE multimode terminator at the physical end of the
SCSI bus. If the cable provided with your adapter has a built-in terminator,
do not add another terminator to the bus.
If the tape drive is the last device on the bus, install a terminator on the
unused SCSI connector, as shown in Figure 2-7.
If there are additional devices on the SCSI bus, ensure that only the device
at the physical end of the bus is terminated.
5. Connect the power cable and turn on the power.
Connect the power cable to the back of the tape drive. Turn on the tape
drive’s power switch. During the tape drive’s power-on self-test (POST),
the LEDs scroll sequentially right to left, then left to right in amber and
green. LED 4 illuminates in red and green. When POST is complete, LED 4
illuminates in green. (See Table 3-1, “LED states,” on page 20 for a
description of the LED states.)
6. Power on the host computer system.
